Hi  
I dont undestand this nod it dose places the FamilyInstanace on the wrong plane. The plane is in a angle se points.

@johanna.ronnerBMXSJ ,hi

when you host or place elements on refplanes you need to name them and your family should be checked, that it is workplane-based! than you can check your script

Hi I don’t understand how to check if it workplan based but The families works in Revit and I can choose refers plane and place it on the plan in Revit but it dose not work with the nod.
