Hi, Is it possible to copy a group, with a known name ? I’m thinking about copying a group of rebar from one element to another. Any ideas ? Cheers, Dennis

Copy with distance should not be a problem, it will be a litte bit trickier if they are rotated differently too. Have you looked through the nodes in bim4struc? He has got a Rebar.Copy node. [image]

This is even better !!! Thanks a lot ! Cheers, Dennis

@Einar_Raknes Hi Einar, I’ve tried your solution with the non modified bim4struc node (Rotation will be the next step :)) It seems that not only the rebar is copied but also the beam itself. Can you check this is happening at your model ?

No in my graph only the rebars are copied. I fixed another issue with the python script, it did not change the host of the copied rebars. I also found a solution on the rotation. [image] I attached the dyn if you want to test it: Rebar.Copy.dyn (17.4 KB) Something for you to test as well @Diete…

Hi Einar, Can you try to copy a beam with stirrups ? In my tests the stirrup shape changed in the beam with the copied bars.

Hi everyone, Did anybody try the solution above and noticed that the strirrup changed form in the copy ?

I did a test and the stirrup remained unchanged. Do the beams have the same cover settings?

Is it possible to do this with floor, walls…?

Should work with all elements with location lines, like walls and beams. The rebars will not be stretched though.

Yes, the cover settings are the same Einar. I’ve tried it on Revit 2016 and 2017 and different machines and models. I’ll post a demo later.

Ah, nice trick. That is what you needed this for?
