Hello all,
I am trying to merge in-place families into one, (in place or not).
I managed to go through all in place instances, get their geometry, union it, and create a loadable family. See attached screen shot.
Questions:
- the loadable family thus created contains some weird “Free forms” elements, which look like Revit geometry (extrusions) but with no sketch editable, nor you can delete one of the shapes. In other words, besides stretching the shape handles, you cannot edit the geometry anymore. Is there a way to maintain the Revit geometry (extrusions sketch, etc.,) into the new loadable family? (I guess the Get geometry node and the union nodes create these “free form” Dynamo Geometry, and not Revit geometry).
- Ideally, the newly created family should simply replace the in-place instances: would that be possible? How would I know the insertion point of the new family so that its geometry overlaps with the geometry of the original in place families?
- Any other idea on how to merge in place families into one?
Thank you!
