Automate Adding Spot Cordinate Tag

Is it possible to automate spot coordinates being added to a view and particular generic model like I have done below? These are generic models we use to show a penetration and pipe through a slab.

Hello,

Clockwork package has a SpotCoordinate node that I would recommend looking at.

what do i here?

I attempted to use the SpotCoordinate.ByPoint node and could not get it to work. It would always return null. I did find this thread (Spot coordinates) and @fluffyhugger’s solution works to place a spot elevation for a single element. He goes on to explain how to make it work for multiple elements, but I did not have any success with that.

@fluffyhugger Would you mind elaborating on how to make the Python Script work for multiple elements?

I’m detached from a dynamo workstation today but if memory serves correctly I needed to provide equal list sizes to all input nodes. I’ll edit this post once I get access and verify.

EDIT: Hrm. I can’t get the python script within the package node to run successfully even with a single point case. It executes but returns null with no visible change to the model.

I tried but nothhing happend? is this for orientation of the tag?

That’s correct. When I tried using the SpotCoordinate.ByPoint node, it would run without issues, but I too didn’t see anything happening. When I followed fluffyhugger’s solution using a python script node, I was able to get the tag to show up, but it would only work with one element at a time.

You try this.

How can I schedule the spot coordinates in BOQ sheet with Dynamo script

Hello, guys.
Having trouble here when trying to apply the node in this case.
It seems to have completed with no errors, but it´s not creating enay spots. As you see, I´ve created one just to check that was possible.
Any ideas?
