I am currently trying to create a script that will let me select all room boundaries whether it be per certain levels or all levels. I’m sure this requires a python script but as of now I do not know any python. So if anyone can take the time out of their day to give me any suggestions, I’d really appreciate it! Thank you.
Room.Boundaries node from Archi-Lab package will collect these for you.
Then Group Curves (also Archi-Lab) and build a polycurve from each sublist to account for an donuts in your rooms.
Then build a surface of each curve loop, query the surface’s area, and multiply that by -1.
Use the negative area value as the key and the polycurves as the list input for a List.GroupByKey node.
Next up a List.Deconstruct with proper list levels and lacing to pull the largest areas out from the inner openings.
Finally we offset the polycurves. The list of ‘first’ items from the deconstruct node will want to be offset by a positive value, while the inner openings will want a negative value.
Some curves will fail (ie: offering a circular with a radius of 6 by 8) but this will be functional for most uses.
