Coordinates at edges

[fil]

hello.

i wanted to get the coordinates at 6’ from the edges at marked points (red). the script I used is that I selected columns and from the center of their bottom I draw offset at 6’ and extracted the coordinates at the corner point. is possible that instead of using columns can I use the edges of all floors and do the same thing that is to get coordinates at 6’ from the edge. if yes what changes I should make?

sharing my script and model for reference.

You could try this:

Select the floor(s)
Get Element.Geometry
Explode Solid
Get surface Normals
Filter by Normal.Z value is 1
Get Surface.PerimeterCurves
Use Curve.Superjoin from “Chynamo” package (will return 2 polycurve loops)
filter out the loop with smaller length (this would be opening curve)
the remaining polycurve is the outer Boundary
use Curve.Offset with -6’ to get the inner curve
explode polycurve
get Curve.StartPoint for curves to get the points
get coordinates

I test it too… is it in this way?

You should use Surface.normalAtParameter to get the Normal, to filter and get Only the TOP surface.
