I am trying to model this plant…
i got the lines for the leaves… but i want to rotate the leaves up. So the line that is pointing outwards needs to be rotate along the Z plane of it’s base plane, i can get it to rotate, but some go up and some go down and i have no idea any more why…
i have tried so much…that i don’t know what the right way is any more… could someone help with this script to get me moving again.

Hi,
one idea to try (sorry don’t have access to Revit at the moment to check):
Make a vector from your leaf line and then calculate a crossproduct against a vector from XY plane (basisX or basisY)
As a result you should get a vertical vector - sometimes pointing upwards sometimes downwards.
Maybe then you can extract its Z value sign and adjust rotation accordingly.
Might not work though if your line would be exactly parallel to the test vector - cross product would be zero…
problem is some go uo some go down…
Does that change when the line is reversed?

i got it working… took a plane form the base line where the line i want to rotate is connected… thanks for your help
