Hello! Is there a way to get a wall from Revit into Dynamo and collect all the openings, windows and doors in it? … and then calculate total area of openings? Thanks in advance //Shahrokh

Here is a simple definition to get what you want. but it finds the correct opening area only when the wall is flat, rectangular. [이미지 2]

Another definition here… [이미지 3]

I would recommend you try the Element.Inserts node in package Clockwork - it’ll retrieve the hosted objects in any wall (and also some other object types). Regarding the opening sizes, I would first try to get there via simply reading parameter values, usually they are called Height and Width. In mo…

I discover something new in Clockwork package every day. :slight_smile: there’re so many!! Thanks Andreas.

Thank you guys so much! Clockwork works like a clockwork! //Shahrokh

Thanks, i didnt notice that! But still I cant get the openings geometry in dynamo to get to a point location. [image] I know there is a node FamilyInstance.Location, but I’ve came across projects with messed up Revit origins and points from both differ a lot (Checked by Lookup). Thanks anyway fo…

Looks like a limitation of the Element.Geometry node (or the Revit API). I guess the closest you can get is retrieving the element’s bounding box.
