Can I access my Hysopt BIM Syncer models via a Chrome browser?
No, Your Hysopt BIM Syncer models are not accessible via a Chrome browser
Where are the log files stored? Can I change the default location?
The log files are stored by default in the ApplicationData folder instead of the installation folder located in Program Files.
You can find this folder on following location C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Hysopt
How to uninstall the Hysopt BIM Sycner plugin
Go to windows settings and look for the
User interface
How to change the default mouse button to pan in Hysopt model?
Go to User settings:
Change the default mouse button to pan by selecting the your preferred option.
How to resize P&ID window or Validation window?
Use zoom-in or zoom-out buttons at the bottom of the window.
Is it possible to dock the Hysopt P&ID and validation window?
Hysopt BIM Syncer windows are displayed off the screen
This behavior can occur if Autodesk Revit was displayed on a monitor other than the primary monitor before you disabled multiple display support. A possible solution to resolve this issue, go to windows > settings > system > display > display resolution and change the display resolution to smaller resolution.
Unknow subject
The volume (m³) of my space in Revit is zero or not calculated.
What is the difference between Hysopt Optimiser and Hysopt BIM Syncer?
The best way to explain the difference between the Hysopt BIM Syncer and the Hysopt Optimiser, is to explain the common functionality and the specific differences they have.
Common | BIM Syncer | Optimiser |
|---|
Both the Hysopt Optimiser as the Hysopt BIM Syncer share the functionality to: Rapidly model P&ID schemes: Calculations: | Specific BIM Syncer functionalities: BIM & Hysopt model generation Mapping Validation Synchronisation of system data Synchronisation of building data Synchronisation of calculation data from the Hysopt optimiser Export P&ID & reports to Revit sheets …
| Specific Optimiser functionalities: Optimise components Simulation Partial load analysis Sensitivity analysis Pareto Analysis …

Which Revit components are taken into account by the Hysopt BIM Syncer?
We take into account the components that are also present or have an equivalent in Hysopt.
These are the components belonging to both specified:
types/categories

Are Pipe placeholders and analytical connections supported?
Hysopt BIM Syncer can take Pipe placeholders and analytical connections into account.
How is a fitting (e.g. tee fitting) for which not all connectors are connected or a capped end handled?
Connector of tee fitting is not connected (disconnects)
In case of a disconnect, the BIM syncer will handle it as a fitting with two connectors, so it will not handle it as a Tee-point.
Cap open end of tee fitting
Pipe is connected to tee fitting which is capped with a pipe cap
Tee fitting is connected with a pipe cap
BIM Syncer will handle that branch as a dead-end branch, and it will handle the fitting (from a hydraulic perspective) as a fitting with two connectors, so it will not handle it as a Tee-point.
A non-capped pipe is connected
If a non-capped pipe is connected, then the BIM Syncer will handle it as a fitting with three connectors. It is assumed that this pipe is not fully modelled and needs additional pipe segments, fittings, and components.
Revit and/or the Hysopt BIM Syncer crashes without any further notice
Solution:
Work through the following troubleshooting steps:
look into the log file and see if there is a message that helps you further.
look into the Windows Event viewer and see if there is a message that helps you further.
collect as much info as possible and contact your reseller. Check our support page.
In Sync Views mode, Revit sometimes intercepts the "CTRL-H" command. Instead of showing the replace Base Circuits dialog, Revit annotates the menubar.
If you enable the Sync Views mode, click on a Hysopt Base Circuit, and subsequently press CTRL-H to replace this Base Circuit, Revit sometimes intercepts the command to show annotations on the menubar. The Replace Base Circuit functionality of Hysopt is not loaded.
Unfortunately this is a Revit limitation that cannot be fixed.
However, there are some workarounds to avoid it :
don’t click too quickly on different hysopt Base Circuits
(give Revit the time to sync the view and highlight the Revit element before clicking on the next Base Circuit)
lower the higlight time in the settings page to 1 second
Disable the Sync Views mode when replacing Base Circuits
What if you change your Hysopt model or Revit model outside the Hysopt BIM Syncer
The changes will be detected when you re-validate.
Errors might occur when you removed some items. The mapping in the Hysopt BIM Syncer might think they still exist.
Can I remove the assistance parameters, after using them to assist generation?
Yes, go to Manage > Project parameters
and remove the Hysopt parameters
