Hello,
I am using Dynamo for Revit and I would like to know if there is a way to add the parameter propping (distance from the top of the bottom floor to the bottom of the upper floor) to all the columns or walls of a project.
Thanks for your help
Regards
Emma
Hey Emma,
One way of doing it would be to :
-Create a project parameter called “Propping” for walls and columns
-Use the bounding box of the elements to get the value you want and populate the parameter in revit
Hi Mostafa,
Thanks for your explanation.
I have just tried but I find the “height” of the columns which included the upper slab.
For example it give me 4000 instead of 3530 which is the information I would like.
Do you know if there is a way to get it ?
Thanks a lot!
I see.
I am affraid this issue has more to do with te way things are modeled in revit. Things like “switching join order” or the use of rooms might help.
If someone has a 100% dynamo solution i would be very interested too !
Hi Mostafa,
I finally find a way to extract the propping value from the volume of the columns. I am putting manually the columns dimension because I didn’t find out how to get the parameters b and h from the type properties. Any idea ?
Thanks for your help,
Emma
Hey Emma,
It’s interesting that the volume only takes into account the propped height.
Here’s a way that retrieves the area of the columns without having to type a and b values manually. There are probably more advanced ways to do it but i think it’s simple enough and it works.
Hope it gets you where you want
I do not think this is a more advanced method, but it is another method to obtain b and h from the type parameters.
Thanks a lot both are working but the second one is quicker to run!
