Hello,
I made a Revit family using Swept Blend of two profiles, (one rectangular and one round), now im using the family in the project. I need to make a dynamo program that will give me the surface area of that Family. Now since the nature of that family (element) is the curved surfaces, I don’t find a way or node to do that. tried several nodes, but each one says, “Operation Failed”.
Any help ??
Did you tried Element.Faces ?
Yes. that too says, “operation Failed”
Would you please upload your family ?
Yes, I will make a generic family using Swept Blend, and upload …
it says, “New Users can not upload attachments” :\
it worked for me in this family, but not working in the original families that I am working with…
if you try with the family that comes with Revit …
its a duct fitting family … with the name “M_Rectangular to Round Transition - Angle”
if you try with this family, it wont work…
what about the below ?
thanks for your help, I appreciate that. However, I have done the area for all the fittings with Dynamo, its only when the surface is curved in a specific way (e.g., in case of transitions from one shape to other, like round to rectangular), I am getting the problem mentioned above.
For example the cylindrical surface is also a curved surface, but Dynamo can find its surface area, no problem with that. Only in some particular cases, it gives this error, which has not yet been resolved.
I too am having an issue with this same topic. I have tried several types of nodes and approaches. All have failed to be able to handle curved surfaces like the transition that walzworld showed.
