Extract Center Left/Right plane from loaded family

[jnoordzij]

Hi,

would it be possible to extract from a family instance which is loaded into a project and rotated in a strange way its Center Left Right orientation, Center Front Back orientation and Ref Level orientation?

I am thinking as a plane or maybe as a vector?

Ultimate goal is to use these planes / vectors to create views in the project looking straight towards the family, even though its strangely rotated inside the project.

Hope you catch my drift. Many thanks in advance.

Have your tried the FamilyInstance.FacingOrientation node?

It gives you one vector, but you could get the one perpendicular to it if you want the other orientation.

Thanks to you both. I’ll give them a try.
