Element.IntersectsElement

Dear Dynamo Specialists/BimorphNodes,

I have a question:
In this script I search to an intersection between de Curtain Wall and the wood (31x96mm)

When I run the script there is no intersection result of the “Intersecting Elements”.

Coud anyone help me?

Hi @rlandkroon ,

If you are trying to find the exact geometric intersection, aka the solid which overlaps in this case I recommend using the Element.Geometry node and the Geometry.Intersect node.

Hi @rlandkroon, Please try to use either “Geometry.Intersect” or “Geometry.DoesIntersect” node as Daan mentioned below. It looks like you are having interferencing check with linked model(s).
Please find attached Image for the better understanding.

By the way, both nodes provided me different output for some reason, so I’d recommend you to try out and pick the best one worked for you.

Thanks Dann for your tip, I’ve tried the two different nodes as well as “Element.IntersecsElement” from bimorphnode. However, I haven’t got the output that I expected. Three beams (1),(2), and (3) were supposed to be returned “False” as they are not geometrically intersecting to wall I selected.
Do you have any idea how these nodes work?

Hi @Sikwon.YangSH9DR ,

This topic/thread is about 2 years old, could you make a new topic with the issue you’re having? Ideally with photos and files :slight_smile:

Hi Daan, Thanks for you reply, and I figured it out by myself.
Sure, I will open up a new topic attaching photos next time if I come up with other questions.
