yeps 2 and convert string to number

Only drop 2 the first time. You’re thinking you need to drop again because your list hasn’t changed. Dropping 0 is removing nothing so the transposed list still has the headers.

Hi everyone!
Thank you all for your help so far! I have been ill and had a few other things to do but now i am back on this project and this is what I have so far

Going forward, what codes would I need to be able to place the items (they are also Revit files ) that I need using these coordinates and what we have achieved so far?

do you mean a revit family, then try family.instance.by point or similar, it will depends on what kind of family you will insert

okay, so this is what i have but i think something is missing?

no not really sure, but seems fam by coordinates expect meters, probably better by point…not sure…

That doesn’t seem well thought out… certainly a miss in the documentation or node function…

Edit Ok - seems a documentation miss. Will confirm and let the team know later.

yes possibly, I just saw it…but haven’t gone into it…holiday this week

Assuming that this is a geolocation site boundary points…
Couple of things to note when developing the logic for this is to take in the following;

project units in meter or milimetres
the position of the internal origin / pbp / survey VS the point value indicated on the excel
basic deductions required for the setup and to consider the rotation of the project.
