Hello,
after searching around, I did not find any node for creating a Model In-Place Component with Dynamo.
The Model In-Place Component would give the possibilities to faster change a family Geometry in a Project. So it would be really great to place one.
I found the “Springs.FamilyInstance.ByGeometry” which works great for family creation, but its not as smart as the In Place Component, to change Geometry in the Project.
Are there any possibilities? Did I miss something?
Regards
Josef
The Revit API doesn’t allow access to in place masses. This is a known limitation and has been around for too long in my opinion!
If you do a search on the topic you’ll find the various workarounds. You may want to check out Dynamo with FormIt. You can export out to a Revit family and it seems to work better than the other methods.
Okay Thank you,
I have already workarounds. I just was not shure if its possible. Thanks!
Hello,
for me then it was okay to just use DirectShapes. As written in from Paul, the Revit API doesnt give access to Model in-place components.
Except that DirectShape.ByGeometry meshes things…
Here are my elliptical “columns”…
Could you please explain more the Formit workflow?
