Is there a way for Dynamo, only to “read” a specific Detail Level of a selected element. For instance a family is in a Course Level only a Model Line and in Medium and High Level a Solid.

For a project i only need the Model Line, not the solid…

Thnaks…

I think a node of the Clockwork geometry node has option to choose detail level of the family element

Thanks for your anwser.

I’ve version 2.3.0 of the Clockwork package.

The only nodes I find are for the detail level of the view, or the level for the element.

Not the detail level of the element

Thanks for the quick anwser and it does what it should…

Only it doesn’t seem to recognize model lines as geometry…

This is an example family. In the Coarse level it’s just a model line. In the Medium and High Level it’s a solid.

I’m trying to get Dynamo just to select the Model Line in Coarse Level
