Hi hope all be well.
I want to have auto section for columns with dynamo.
I was just wodering can you give me a hint about it?
I created auto section for beams that I attached .

Hi @nia98bim maybe something here could work…
edit…arhh sory didnt read it right it was for columns…
sovitek:
rhh sory didnt re
yes for column is not workout
is that even possible manuel that way allright yes it is
The Dynamo office hours session on stair documentation could help you work out how to accomplish this:

Hi @nia98bim I would try that way Sol and Jacob show in the video ;), bu t here is an alternative way with "section view by boundingbox ,but not sure that node exist in older version…but best with sectionview by CS i guess…

Hi @nia98bim ,
If the columns are axis-aligned the solution @sovitek can be a good approach I think.
But if the columns are rotated/slanted the Dynamo graph in the link below might help you in the right direction (this is more related to the info provided by @jacob.small ).

thank you for your response,
the thing is had faced with this problem.
Hello @nia98bim
I have a graph that makes sections and planviews for columns, adds dimensioning and annotations, rotates the views, etc.
It is based on this post:
My dyns for create/annotate, dimension sections, dimension planviews:

08_2_Stützen_Ansichten_Bemaßung.dyn (493.4 KB)

Hello Dynamo Friends
I can dimension a column by getting faces, vertices, points and then taking some points by their index.

To make this work for other columns i have to get the points i need by their location and not just by index. So let´s start with the PlanView, i have to make a rectangle out of the column for the dimensioning line location.
To getting started i want to get the corner points of the column, but I´m even struggling with that:

Hello Dynamo Friends!
I want to dimension columns like in the following view. Therefore i have to identify the surface that I´m looking at in the view. Later i want to offset the line i need for the position of the dimensioning.

I could achieve what i want but it was a pretty wild ride and so i just wanted to ask if you have some advice on how i could get my results easier!
Here in Steps and pictures what i did:

Hello Dynamo Community!
I want to get the outline or points of a Column in a section view.
[image]
I need that to place tags, detail elements, elevation marks and maybe for dimensioning.
I don`t really know how to start, just a little first try:

Only thing i can get to work is getting the centroid point:

Would be happy about some advice
THANKS!
Kind regards!
Good evening Dynamo Community!
I have created front views and planviews of columns and now I want to rotate the planview to match the orientation of the front view.
I use a Vector from the front surface of the column and a new vector to get the rotation between the two vectors. Now I´m getting different angles depending on the vector direction respectively the location of the front surface, i think.
Here are the angles I get for these two columns. I think they are not correct because they sho…
Hello Dynamo Friends
I´m playing around with dimensioning and i can dimension columns by faces.
Like this:

and also like that:

Result:

Now i want to add the following dimensions in a section view:

And this wont work with parallel faces so i started by getting the points i need:
[image]
And now i would need a method to dimension by points, is there anything like that out there?
Can i make an ElementGeometryReferences from a point?
