Revit 2017.1
Dynamo 1.2.0
Problem:
Face-hosted families tend to shift relative to Cartesian coordinates when the face shape changes
Solution:
- Open Project1.rvt
- Run Hosted Raftertails - Record Position (1.2.0).dyn to save the start and end points of line based families to parameters in the families
- Change your roof slope and watch while raftertails (and hip elements) shift location
- Run Hosted Raftertails - Return to Position (1.2.0).dyn to move line-based families back to recorded XYZ position
Result:
- This script works fine for raftertails where the Z value of start and end points are equal, but for sloping families (like the hip tiles) the family points honor the recorded start and endpoints, but not the family geometry
- It may be that the line-base family is not modeled correctly.
- This script also assumes that any line-based families with a slope are hosted to top side of roof
- This script uses clockwork and rhythm packages and one custom node (attached)
Just getting into the geometry nodes in dynamo and would appreciate any recommendations
Thanks
David
