Automate Creation of Models

Hi @jacob.small

Thanks for your response, please see my comments below.

This is completely self imposed and a mistake in terms of how you approach Dynamo. Doubly so when you add in the next bullet point. It’s like saying ‘I need to build a complete for a large multi-family tower in Revit but without using any links and by the way I don’t know anything about things in the systems tab.’ The use of AI to try and get code is also going to slow you down (significantly compared to packages) and do more harm than good.

We have already discussed this in another post (Creating and Renaming Worksets without Packages) and is not self imposed. It is a limitation of where I work and the sensitivity of the environment. I am trying to overcome this by learning Python and the Revit API to combat the restrictions I currently have, I am really enjoying it at the moment. I am using AI as a guide not a solution

PolyCurve.ByGroupedCurves will build closed loops for you on this - in some cases you will have to extract the curves and manage them as a group goi g forward. You will have to manage list levels and lacing throughout the rest of the graph though. Do the primer exercises to learn that as AI tools will not help.

I have found the node and implemented it into my script have no issues when it comes to creating multiple floors but get a warning when the roofs are created. I have tried to search online why the roof are behaving differently with no luck. The script works with no issues when selecting only one outline.

PolyCurve.OffsetMany has a boolean control for filleting outside corners or not.

I have had a look for this node within Dynamo and searched for some guidance online and cannot find it. I have tried getting around this by offsetting the lines outward then inward, this didn’t resolve the issue.

I can not see where you used this as your graph image is too zoomed out. Read how to create an image of your workspace and highlight where you aren’t getting the result you are after. My gut tells me you should be using a Wall.ByCurveAndLevels node not a high based method though.

Apologies this was incorrect I am using Wall.ByCurveAndLevels and still getting unconnected top constraints. I am still using my work around to attach the top of the walls to my roof level.

I have recreated my graph below following the steps provided. From what I can tell there is no difference to the last screenshot, I am able to zoom in and see the same amount of detail.
