Thanks Vikram!! It works nicely. Successful work below. :blush: [Annotation 2020-08-06 222852]

Got stuck on aligning the tiles (399 cuboid) with the selected edges. [Annotation 2020-08-07 002013] I tried to use the Geometry.Transform but warning is shown. Any idea? Attached the dyn file for your quick reference. [Annotation 2020-08-07 001737] Split surface (bounding box fix).dyn (1.1 MB)

Thanks Vikram, but this created another bounding box rather than the original one, I tried to apply your script with my original bounding box (it created a new light orange bounding box under the polygon floor), is there a way to translate the existing tiles? [Annotation 2020-08-08 161553] Split …

[image] carol.poon: I tried to apply your script with my original bounding box If the objective is to get the number of tiles (cut,uncut and total), you should be able to obtain that information from the graph provided without attempting to incorporate it into another graph. You’ll need to j…

Another way to think about this type of exercise is cutting up the existing surface. This is one such example: [Panel Counts_2020-08-12_09-16-41]

Is it possible to align a BoundingBox to a Family ? For example in Grasshopper a bounding box automatically aligns / best-fit to a 3d object. I have windows on different walls, and I need BB on each window aligned to the respective wall ? is it possible ?

@hassan.orion In Revit API, bounding boxes cannot be rotated, because they are aligned with the world coordinate system. Regards,

And how can it be aligned to a geometery ?

I believe there is a node for this in Archi-lab, but I may have my packages wrong. Check there first (make sure you install the right one - the forum has a few topics in that front). I’ll confirm on my lunch break.
