Hello everyone,

Does anyone know how in dynamo python we can replicate the ‘CurtainPanel.Boundaries’ dynamo node?
This one:

Hi @george importing the Dynamo nodes into Python will do it:

import clr

clr.AddReference('DSCoreNodes')
import DSCore
from DSCore import *

cPanel = IN[0]

pCurve = cPanel.Boundaries

OUT = pCurve

Hi @Elie.Trad ,

Thank you very much for the quick help!
Why didn’t we unwrap the IN[0] input? Because when I do that, then the an error: no Boundaries property exists is raised:

cPanel = UnwrapElement(IN[0])

pCurve = cPanel.Boundaries  # raises an error: 'no Boundaries property exists'

@george When you unwrap an element, it is meant to be a Revit object, but since the Boundaries is a replica of the CurtainPanel.Boundaries node, this node is “unwrapping the Revit element”, so the error is some sort of unwrapping twice the element:

Thank you once again @Elie.Trad.
So I I wanted to use a Revit CurtainPanel element (with UnwrapElement(IN[0])), there there is no way of getting its boundary curve?
The boundary curve can only be extracted from DesignScript (dynamo) element?

@george most probably yes, a curtain panel, in the Revit API, has no such property, to my knowledge, thanks to Dynamo, this is possible through the node you mentioned.
