I have a host revit file with multiple linking of each discipline model (archi, structure, mechanical, electrical etc), all linked file is using shared coordinate. In my host file, i have the level lines. So what i am trying to do is to create an automation of dimension of the (height of all lighting fixtures from the level lines in each section view created). Refer to the first picture (i want to do the dimension highlighted in yellow)
I have created try created a dynamo script but it doesn’t seem to work. I am fairly new to dynamo. I was wondering if anyone could help on this. Auto dimensioning for all actual lighting.dyn (56.6 KB)
Yes use genius loci nodes, there is a node for convert link element reference as i guess that the electrical thing, for you level there you can just element reference,all find in genius loci package
Yeah looks the right way my advice for now , not at dyn and have no sample for try on…try first for one section view and one element and when it works scale it up…for the line you could try element location and closest point to on your level plane and line by best trhough point, but in section you will probably need pull on view plane as well…do you have a sample you could share…both master and link ?
Hi @Farhah here is very rough fast example can for sure be optimized,but what i time for now… but try play around with something here as a start
…btw you files dont share coordinate set, and your “KELUAR” sign dont have any reference on the lowest surface, can be edit in the family…try somenthing here
Thank you for the guide. somehow i might missed out or connect it to the wrong nodes. I will try to work around with the guide you provide and study each nodes to better understand the flow.
yeah as you see the dimension dont give the signature lowest surface…when i try i couldnt get any refrence from there and probably need another way for get that…reference lives in the loadable family
if you use Genius Loci dimension/reference tools you could get reference from linked elements
