Creating Rebar Container By Bars

Hello Everyone,

I am attempting to use Rebar.Cut to cut rebar that has been arrayed using Rebar.SetLayoutAsMaximumSpacing. However it seems that the RebarContainer.ByBars node only accepts “Rebar”, while the Rebar.SetLayoutAsMaximumSpacing node outputs “Elements”. Is there anyway around this? See picture below.

Error: “Warning: RebarContainer.ByBars expects argument type(s) (Rebar), but was called with (Revit.Elements.Element).”

Thanks,
Evan

You can ask @Maximilian_Thumfart1 if he can change that. The best place is probably the github-site for DynamoForRebar; https://github.com/tt-acm/DynamoForRebar/issues

Thank you! I have submitted an issue.

Hi guys, thanks for reporting this.
I will change this so the nodes are accepting any element type, but for now - to solve your issue right away: are there any Revit.Rebar Nodes which are casting your elements to Rebar elements?

Max, thanks for the reply. I can’t seem to find any nodes that can cast elements to rebar elements. Would this be a built in node or in a package?

I appreciate your help.

Max, any updates on this fix? Thanks for the help.

Sorry, didn’t find time yet. But I’m trying to solve it this week.
I will send you a prerelease for testing.
