Element.HandOrientaion Node

Hello!

I have a project going to help automate documentation of assemblies

I have been reading through some older forum posts on the subject here:
https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/first-attempt-editing-a-python-script/19156/21

Now I am searching for a node named “Element.HandOrientation” that is contained within a custom node in the above solution.

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Yeah, I am uncertain of the outputs from this node, I believe it may be a vector describing the element’s rotation vs the world XY plane.

My goal is to generate “front” elevations of Curtain Wall assemblies. (Storefront) I am working in a new office that has projects with many pieces of curtain wall that must be elevated in the documents.

I have run into a bit of a problem with rotating the assembly origin of multiple assemblies. I would like to be able to feed in a list of curtain wall assemblies & have their origins all rotated so that selecting a “front” elevation will produce the desired result.

Thanks for your reply!

Thanks for your help @erfajo!

I was able to find that node in a BIM4Struc Package. Unfortunately, I found some Python problems after that…

After watching this post very closely, I was able to get my lists sorted correctly for the custom node to rotate multiple assembly origins.

Onward!

Awesome! I will check it out! Thanks!
