Dimensions of Wall Openings with Grids

Hello Dears,

I am trying to automate the dimensioning of the wall voids with the grids.

I achieved the first part of it, which is to get the surfaces needed from the wall input and the script is working perfectly to dimension all the voids together.

But here, I need to attach the grids too to the elements dimensioned, so that the dimension of the void to the grid is mentioned too.

I am using Dimensions.ByFaces, but I cannot find a node that combines grids with the faces together.

Any help?

i think genius loci has a Dimension.ByReferences node. it takes reference of many kinds as inputs. grids, levels, wall faces and etc.

Hi for grids i guess we just can use dimension by element OOTB, if i understand

In this case, I see that the grids are on exactly on the same edge of void right?

In my case, the voids are between the grids. As for the future, the grids will be for panel joints.

I keep facing this issue when I use Genius Loci, it keeps showing me null.

Is there any issue with the types of inputs ?

arhh i see, genius loci expect autodesk.db.reference, and not revit reference, you can get these reference with genius loci as well, many nodes for reference

could be an issue with obj types, like sovitek suggested.
