Hello everyone, I’m working on a project and I don’t know how to proceed. I’ve placed a family room tag in a room with the north, east, south, and west sides included which I’m going to link with shared parameters to define the wall finish in my project. Is it possible to link this to the real north, east, south, and west walls in the room? Ultimately, I want to be able to control the wall finishes so that each wall gets a color based on my room tag.
I’m a beginner with Dynamo, so any help is appreciated
Yes, but it is a heavy lift for a first time foray into Dynamo.
You have to get all the bounding elements of the room. Then see which face is facing the room. Get the material from the tag. Check for any split faces. Figure out which ones face north south east west. Split those that continue through to other rooms - like your corridor wall and your exterior wall. See if any walls span multiple floors. Split those as needed. Figure out what to do with odd shaped rooms - like L’s and angled walls and how to paint those. Figure out what to do with that concrete column. Apply the paint.
It would be simpler to go the other way. Pull the finishes applied to the wall and input that into the tag.
