Hi,
im trying to create a solid of two elements in a revit family. There’s a button in Revit so you can do it manually (Create Form), but i need to do this with dynamo. I tried every kind of solid node, but it doesn’t work. Functions like Solid.By.Loft need curves as input and you cant use it with elements. Is there a way to convert an element to a curve?
I created the elements in a seperate family and placed them in a second family with dynamo to create a solid.
Try adding an Element.Geometry node before you try and loft the elements.

Thank you for your answer. I tried this node but it doesnt work. It says “cannot create solid, curves are not closed”. The reason for this is, that the output of element.geometry are just the single lines of the element. Is there a way to create a closed curve of these lines?
Hi How can you extract volume in the Revit project interface once created the element using solid.byloft
I tried the same, but its not generating a solid family. Tried both of them in family as well as project interface, please refer image
here is an image of the project interface
all your sent nodes have content?
I think you need to create a new topic so as not to drift too much from the initial topic it seems to me
Cordially

Hello @Dynamobeginner …think your need a family instance after your family type for insert or try spring family instance by geometry

Thanks for replying @sovitek unfortunately I’m getting the issue “TypeError: expected Solid, got Mesh”
I’ll start a new thread to see if theres any development for the spring node in revit 2022

Sure @christian.stan Thanks for replying
Let’s move to a new thread as this one is solved and the topic unrelated. Closing this accordingly.
