Dividing existing parts with defined spacing

Hi,

I’m new to Dynamo and I’m trying to automatically divide wall parts (Cladding) with a defined spacing in Revit.

I found this awesome post from Einar_Raknes and tried to modify it so that it would only divides the part that I would choose.

Dividing parts with dynamo

Now for the python script: ##CLR Dynamo uses a version of python called IronPython which is capable of dealing with .NET libraries. To interact with the Revit API we have to load an .NET assembly, a dll file named RevitAPI.dll, and for this we need the clr module from Iron Python. (http://ironpython.net/documentation/dotnet/) Thus the first lines of the code looks like this: import clr clr.AddReference('RevitAPI') from Autodesk.Revit.DB import * ##Generic collections If we look at the ar…

But, now I have 2 problems. Firstly, I need to be able to specify a start point for the cladding. A pick point would be awesome but I don’t know how I could do that.

Finally, I don’t know anything about Python script and am not able to modify the one that divide part.

If anybody could help, I would gladly appreciate!
