You've filtered your data in the Power BI report and are expecting to see objects in the VIM WebGL viewer. However, instead of displaying the relevant geometry, you encounter a warning model stating, "Nothing to show. Try selecting something else." If this sounds familiar, don't worry - you're not alone, and there is a way to fix it.

This warning message appears when the VIM WebGL viewer can't find any geometry to display based on your selected filter criteria in Power BI. The viewer is directly linked to your Building Information Modeling (BIM) data, and if the filter doesn't correspond to any geometric entities in your BIM model, it has nothing to display.

The resolution for this issue involves double-checking your Autodesk Revit project and potentially altering the source. Follow these steps to rectify the situation:

Begin by checking the BIM model in your Revit design. Ensure that the geometric entities correspond to the filters you're using in Power BI. The VIM WebGL viewer can only display what exists in the BIM model, so it won't be available if a specific element isn't present in the Revit design.

If your Revit design checks out, but you're still experiencing the issue, consider modifying your filter criteria in Power BI. It's possible that the data you're trying to display isn't represented in your BIM data. Select different criteria that correlate with the existing entities in your Revit design.

Remember, the key here is alignment. The filters in Power BI need to align with the geometries in your Revit design for the viewer to display the data.

In conclusion, the "Nothing to show" warning appears when the VIM WebGL viewer can't find corresponding geometries in your BIM data to match your filter criteria in Power BI. To fix this, double-check your Revit design and adjust your filters as necessary.
