transformation and placement from X/Y coordinates into polar coordinateds and creatiion of property lines is the goal.
I am using Dynamo 1.2 and revit 2017.
I have x/y in Excel.
I wanted to draw property line into Revit with those data.
First I read the data
than translate into a well defined point as origin.
Than I was trying to rewrite the excel data.
than doing an operation to transform into polar coordinates since Revit accept only those for property lines.
Unfortunately I got the “Null value cannot be cast to Int32.”
Do I have tro transform into string the data before writing to Excel?

We can’t read your nodes or follow your graph. Zoom in to a legiblenpoint and use a camera export - top right corner of the dynamo window - so we can see what you’re up against.
For what ya worth, why not draw the lines via dynamo instead or moving them to excel?

Thanks, it seems a great idea to just draw the line directly.
I was attracted to use the table that Revit allow to use for property lines.
I did it and it worked ok. Model lines only than propety lines on top of those.

Glad it worked out. If I get time I will try and coordinate the polar coordinates method as I see value in that type of data extraction. Don’t wait though - this may not happen until after my vacation in two weeks.
can you please publish the example of the Dynamo script that draws the property lines directly ?
i’m new to revit. my first task is to create site plan from paper plot plan.
i succeeded at that, but can’t figure out how to modify the original table i entered ?
for instance, i have a radius that i might like to adjust on one side of the property.
i like the idea of having the property lines represented in a text script/code for easier editing/generation. i’m thinking Dynamo is the one ?
this would be easier for me than having to click thru the GUI for each experiment 
?
