Hi everyone! I need to identify which element is situated in which space. I have previously done something similar using an archilab node called Elements in Room and I thought I could use the same approach but use an Elements in Space node instead. But either it is not that simple or I am doing som…

Hi Cyril, Cannot this work for elements, such as pipes or ducts? Regards, Atharva Purohit

Hi, You could use the Element ToSpace or Element ToRoom nodes from the Genius Loci package. Please note that these nodes evaluates if the middle of linear elements is in the room/space. It won’t work with duct/pipe ends.

Hi Alban, Thanks for responding. First of all, i’m a fan of Genius Loci package! Btw, I was just communicated that the need to compute for pipe/ducts/CTs are ruled out. But the space model will be linked in every discipline model and just needs to be computed for families and equipments. Will t…

Hi Atharva, Yes it should work with linked spaces. As I explained before the custom node has its limitations. [image]

Hi Alban, Not sure if i am doing something wrong here. [image] It is giving null for every element. Can you point out my mistake? i’m using bim360 models, is it also one limitations? Regards, ap
