Hello everyone!
First time actually creating a post so I hope I can explain my issue correctly to help other users too, and thanks for all the help you have provided to Newbies at Dynamo like me
So I have been trying to export NWC files using the Genius-Loci Package which has been recommended so much in these forums. The export has to be per element with a specific Name Tag to the file (containing one element). The issue is that the Node “Export NWC in Document” will take views instead of elements, so to fix that I made a Bounding Box surrounding the element and created a 3D view from the Bounding Box for the export. It was working fine for Revit Elements which had cubic shape and were facing North…
I believe in the ExportScope is where that information is added as the options are the same as in the manual Export settings “Model”, “View”, “Selected Elements”. Unfortunately when I pick “Selected elements” it will still export the whole View in the NWC file
Also the Bounding Box method is doomed to fail for steel structures as they are rarely cubic shaped. So what I have though so far is to find another method to create the View from the element but I have ran out of ideas in the “how”, or maybe make a code which moves the element far away makes the view from isolated element and returns it to place but I feel like there should be an easier way.
Here’s some pictures that might be helpful:
Did this to show on the top what happens with the Graph and on the bottom the manual export, hope it helps because I had to improvise a little…
That’s why I believe there should be a way in Dynamo to do this as Manually is fairly easy but time consuming.
I have read probably all the Topics that speak about NWC export and haven´t found the right one that is specific to my goal.
Thank you in advanced atleast for giving my post a thought
And I hope I am not getting out of line in the structure of the Topic…
