Breaking a wall geometery into individual bricks in dyanamo

i want to break a wall geometery (imported from revit) in dynamo into individual brick geometery how can i do that

2

Have a look at this thread:

Note that I personally find it is less intensive to build individual bricks in Dynamo than work with Revit’s patterns as the patterns are difficult to extract and usually lack real dimensions due to the lack of grout.

thanks for the reponse jacob i am a university student working on a project i want to break a wall into brick to get centeroid cartesian coardinates of each brick is their any way to get it done in dynamo or revit

Yes - how are you designing the bricks?

5

Could a curtain wall with panels of bricks help you :man_shrugging:

6

I am not designing bricks I have just imported the wall from revit and trying to break it in dynamo

7

No

Then the method in the thread I linked above is a hood start. :wink:

Hi @awaiskalyar78 here is a dirty way with dimension, not so nice as Jacobs great solution, but could probably work as well…its all about which brick bond and grout size…

As Jacob says- what is the problem you are having? Here is a screenshot from Dynamo in Revit 2023 as to where the node “lives”, but right-clicking in the canvas and starting to type “flatten” should give you the node:

this node requires a list as input but no list is connected to it

19

which list should i connect to this node if i am not connecting anything it is giving me error

20

The node is being used as a function in the List Map node which it is connected into. Alternatively you can leverage list lacing and levels.

Going though the Dynamo Primer will help. https://primer2.dynamobim.org/
