The conversion process is designed so anyone using the Elements library can add their own custom converters that will be run by the addin. For more information about writing Element Converters refer to the Sample Converter Repo.
There are three buttons that support different filters while extracting your Revit model into a Hypar model.
Each button will only send elements if there are available converters that support that element type.
<aside> 💡 Open Views to Hypar is the most reliable option at this time, the other buttons are having undergone some major (sometimes breaking) changes.

Once you've chosen one of these button the converter will ask you to save a json file, and that json file can be imported into Hypar using the JSON to Model function.
Loading Elements into your Revit model requires converters that are designed to work with a given Revit template / project.
Open one of your Hypar workflows. You can customize what you're about to export by changing the visibility settings on your functions until the model looks good to you.
Export it to JSON via the "More" menu at the bottom left, and then choose "Export: JSON". Save the zip file somewhere on your machine and extract the JSON from it.
Go to "Load Model" in Revit and choose your JSON file.
Voila! 🥂 Even if you don't have specialized converters for your objects, we are able to fall back to DirectShape so that you can visualize your geometry in Revit.
