Please let me thank you first on this greatpackage, that I am discovering day by day.
My goal is to adjust an already made toposurface in Revit reading the CAD data,
precisely the text note that reports elevations and than edit the surface corresponding points to these heights. Revit 2019, Dynamo 2.04, Bimorph 3.03
Unfortunately it seems certain CADTEXT origin point does not match the actual coordinates as they are in the CAD. Below the script. The cad is selected, (it is linked but it had the same result when I tried with imported)
I came along with a problem on the CADTextData.OriginPoint node I cannot solve by myself.
I tried to redraw the CAD data to see if that where the problem was, no lucky with that.
The issue remains.
I checked this previous thread here,
It is a different problem not sure if anybody has already encountered.
Any hints would be appreciated.
It might be mirrored blocks with nested blocks which have also been mirrored. These kinds of scenarios are difficult to resolve as there is nothing in the .netDXF library which evaluates this (its the library BimorphNodes uses to convert text from a CAD file as its not possible via the RevitAPI) so approximations are use.
A simple fix: create a copy of your DWG, explode all blocks and then try. Are the results different?
Upload your DWG and I’ll investigate nonetheless.
Thanks. We found that the survey point and project base point where there are in different positions gave origin to the misplacing of those Text points, randomly
Hello, i have the same problem that if survey point is away from project base point the node CADTextData.OriginPoint is returning incorrect coordinates.
How did you solve your issue ? @Thomas_Mahon do you think you could check it if i will give you example files for recreation of the problem ?
Hi @Thomas_Mahon I tried you new version, now it reports correct x and y coordinates, but z coordinate is wrong. It reports the survey point plane as z value, not the plane the dwg. file is placed at (level one). When linking the dwg. file i used “current view only” checkbox.
What a minefield! Its a bug with view-dependent imports. If its in a 3D view there’s no problem hence it was working all fine when I tested! Its fixed in v4.2.1 on the package manager.
@Thomas_Mahon thank you very much ! Now it works well.
And as i have you here, maybe you could also check the node CADTextData.TextValue ? It is incorrectly parsing the text from cad when there is subscript in the text. I was able to find workaround, but if you could check it, it would simplify my script a lot
See the images (files are the same as before)
