Now the item Plane.ByThreePoints requires 3 inputs (the three points), I really can’t figure out how to make a plane for each list of 3 points.
I tried with list.Map… but then Plane.ByThreePoints says it doesn’t accept Arrays… so I really need help in understanding how to create a plane for each triangular face?
here is the error message:
“Warning: One or more of the input types are not matching. Couldn’t find a version of ByThreePoints that takes arguments of type (__array,__array,__array)”
I have got only an educational license at home which I just realised it is only a 1.1 Version.
Is it possible to have the 1.2 or 1.3 Version with Educational license?
Otherwise I will have to wait until I get to work tomorrow.
I attach the definition I was working on lunchBox.dyn (14.4 KB)
I don’t think the levels would help me… I think my problem is that I still think like Grasshopper and I would like an head start on how to start thinking in Dynamo.
From my definition: How can I get a Plane in the middle of every Panel created with LunchBox?
in GH I would use three Dispatch function that would filter the single points from each list of three points.
@Askbid i am not sure if this is what you are trying to achieve. I have attached the definition below. P.S. Yes, since Dynamo is free, you can install version 1.3 even if you only have the educational license of Revit. lunchBox.dyn (18.8 KB)
All I wanted to do is to create planes from the mapped lists of points.
For some really unknown reason it works with your file but not with mine, despite being exactly the same definition?: lunchBox2.dyn (19.8 KB)
As you can see my intention was to scale every triangular face from its center (I intended to use the planes as scale plane) but - as you can see from the definition above - once I scale the triangular faces those turn into squares… I am not sure why?
all of this feels very little intuitive :’(
I use Dynamo Studio, I don’t have Revit.
Where can I find a 1.2/1.3 Version for Dynamo Studio?
@erfajo@Askbid it is not exactly the same. In @Askbid definition, from point x,y,z he created a list and directly connected to planebythreepoints node. You have transpose the points first before you connect to planebythreepoints node.
@rexfrancojesse it was good to see your transpose example, but it seem to me redundant as you can get the triangular faces directly from the LunchBox Node. Am I missing something or your nodes where simply rebuilding those surfaces?
as @erfajo it is quite weird that Plane.ByThreePoints works with your file but not mine. The lists coming out from the List.Map look exactly the same to me.
Rex any chance you can tell me how you have made it in the previous example? I can not access the 1.3 version with the educational license and I get that problem all the time.
Here I am trying to get only the Y values from a deconstructPoint node (I need it from the block) but GetItemAtIndex node only acts on the second level and not on the first one as it should be.
So instead of getting all the Y values I get only the second points XYZ
@Askbid Made some alterations to your original file …
Replaced the lunchbox node with a code block (as I don’t have lunchbox installed), changed the lacing on the GetItemAtIndex nodes and eliminated some List.Map nodes. Should now work. 20170430-1.dyn (16.4 KB)
