I have created a script in dynamo, which results in a Surface (Surface.ByPerimeterPoints), that is generated as a conceptual mass in Revit.
I then loaded this new family into my revit project and now I wish to create a roof by face.
However, I get a warning: “Mass contains only mesh geometry, which can’t be used to compute Mass Floors, volume, or surface area.”
I have tried: importing the instance, I have also tried inserting a SAT in a inplace mass. I hoped that the spring node to import a family instance would work, but it did not.
Unfortunately the spring node isn’t running as expected.
It says “Exception: Saving is not allowed. File has been opened by another Revit instance.” and nothing appears on the project.
Do you have any idea why this could be happening?
Thank you so much @Kulkul!
I got it, I have to select a different family, with a thickness less than 0,23 m …
Do you have any idea how can I create this roof with a thickness of 0,9m? There seems to be a limit of 0,23m for the roof to be created.
Almost, I want to avoid the triangulation of the shape. I had to design a shape with a greater area so that I could extrude it with 0,9m of thickness, afterwards I used a Roof Void to cut the excess and obtain the wanted shape, without any triangulation.
Although this is not very ideal, it worked.
