Hello,
Is there a way to exporting points like we can using the add in autodesk point layout but with dynamo?
With the point layout app we can export the x,y,z, number of the point and its description and specify if its the internal coordinates or shared coordinates.
Can anyone help with this or let me know of some info for exporting points with dynamo?
Thanks
Exporting to what format? PTS file? CSV? Excel? Something else?
And which points? The vertexes of a Revit element? Samples on a face of a Revit element? From a point cloud import? Something else?
Either way the answer is ‘likely’, as that app is built using the same APIs Dynamo has access to; just a question of what you are after.
PTS files are just text files with a particular format. CSV and Excel files have nodes for writing them. Element.Geometry > Vertices > PointGeometry will get you vertex geometry, then Point.X, Point.Y and Point.Z will get you the values. Similarly points can be generated on a surface Surface.PointAtParameter, which if given the right lacing and list levels parameter values (ie: cross product and a range of 0..1..#count;) will give you a series of points within the domain of the surface.
Give it a shot, post where you get stuck, and the community will do our best to help out.
