@vivekanandanXVLYD , you look for a location point? ![grafik](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/e/a/ea1360518836e9e9c25973a30fc36551bc63520a.png) KR Andreas ---

I guess its becoarse you divide 3000…does it work if you try divide lets say 20 ? ![Skærmbillede 2024-02-21 093740](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/c/7/c7561635b2431531b3fa7ea70eaadcf04e22cd5c.png) ---

The surface has to come from an element. And I think you need to be in a massing context. ---

Yeah Jacob is right…that node seems build for a mass family…in your case you could try with isolines and split tool…our try ampersands closed loop from curves and a surface patch ![Skærmbillede 2024-02-21 102734](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/3/e/3e4df6e3dcfbb59793f9f8d190923fa6f1bc301f.png) probably something her could work ![Skærmbillede 2024-02-21 102734](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/f/d/fd57b7a7a2d779867e610d8b84f700f0aabbfa3a.png) ![Skærmbillede 2024-02-21 104828](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/4/0/4012c0a12e72977b4fdb12e5be4e0e2183f5c897.png) ---

Yes sure its from Ampersand and the splittool as well…gues it will run faster with the splittool in that case here ---

Dear Sovitek, Thanks for your guide i have found the way to solve this problem. Kindly let me know if you have any MEP design Packages Used to design the MEPF Systems in revit. ---

I would look into Mepover and OpenMep and Genius Loci, there are actuelly great nodes for mep in there as well ;)…these package is the most popular for MEP, and with them you can actuelly automate almost all 😉 ---

yes but keep in mind as Jacob mention as well that node is for massfamily…i know it can give you the curves, but you will first get a warning i guess…dont think that the right node for that task if you not are in mass envonment ![Skærmbillede 2024-02-22 094534](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/a/7/a7db459f23cf4cdcdd1fe4ca22cfa1d06176b065.png) ---

Surface.PointAtParameter might be a more efficient way to get the end results, assuming you’re not in the massing environment.
