Creating a room?

[jorgensen]

i’m trying to create some room by reading a program form an excel file.

i can create a family by using FamiliyInstance.ByCoordinates but how do i create a room? they seem to be elements and not a families?

thanks

Hi Jorgensen,

Try using custom node “Tool.CreateRoomAtPointAndLevel” from Steam nodes Package. Good Luck!

hi kulkul

thanks for the answer

sorry for this late reply, but i did not get a notice mail :-/

i was afterward trying to understand how to parse data from the excel file, and i found this video, which i found very useful.

There is also a way to create "placeholder rooms with a lunchbox node.
