I would like convert Modellines to Roombounding lines, How? Is there any topic in this way. I am glad about any advice. KR Andreas ---

At present i have some 2d poly lines drawn within AutoCAD i want to import to Revit (explode if i have to) and then create room separation lines from this linework. Can this be achieved?     Works for me. However, the picture isn’t legible due to it being from the old forum. But they key bit is the node in the Clockwork package I believe. ---

Ah but that is the link in the OP of this thread, which leads to a 404. Could that happen if someone were to edit the title of a thread, that the url will be different from the title, yet when it was converted to the new forum, the url is changed? ---

… it looks like a general link. I need just to convert lines (modellines, detail lines,) to a room-bounding-line … or need I API Python stuff to do that? KR Andreas ---

I believe the element you are trying to make are Room Separators, for which there is a node in the Clockwork package: RoomSeparator.FromCurve ---

I think the node is called RoomSeparations from Curve Take a look over here > [@Room Separators Plane incorrect from RoomSeparator.FromCurve with Curves.FromCADLayers](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/room-separators-plane-incorrect-from-roomseparator-fromcurve-with-curves-fromcadlayers/17973): > > Hi all, I’m stuck with this one. I’m trying to create Room Separators from curves generated from bimorph node Curves.FromCADLayers. The script is set up to work with the Dynamo Player so it collects a CAD link from the Active View, filters the CAD.LayerNamesInUse to the layer that will be room separators, creates a sketch plane from the level and then creates room separators. I thought it should work but I realize the room separators are all coming in at zero elevation regardless of the Sketch… So what you do is get the model lines, use element.geometry or element.locations to get the curves feed those in the RoomSeparatorFromCurve node, set a sketchplane (use the plane from the level) and a view (plan from that level) ---
