In Solibri I can find nearest space/room for an object, and this I now want to do in Dynamo. I have searched Google and found many things about objects inside a space or room. But I also want to get the objects just outside the rooms. The rooms are in a linked file, and I’m electrical. I don’t wan…

Element.SurroundingElements from steamnodes I think.

It seams that this node functions like other solutions I have seen. That it creates a bounding box out of the room/space and checks if anything is inside. So it doesn’t do what I want it to do. I want to get the room that sorrounds the element, and/or is nearest. This means that every elements sho…

Did you try “Element.Room” node? [image]

Hei Kulkul. Yes I have tried that one and Element.Space. They will do many of the things I want, but not 100%. Couse what I have an element inside the wall, over the ceiling, in the floor, on the outside wall and so on? I want theese elements to also get a room. They should get the nearest room/sp…

Thanks for that one:) I have found several ways and nodes for getting elements inside a room. The problem is getting nearest room/space. Perhaps the room only goes up to the suspended ceiling. I want the elements above the ceiling to belong to the room. Perhaps I have an element on a wall on the o…

Hi Rune, I don’t know will this help you, I get the elements nearest room number and write it to element comment or maybe custom shared parameter. But now it works only one element per room. file: neares room to element.dyn (9.0 KB) [image]

Thanks memortj. I have come this close my self. But this function “surroinding.elements” works like all the other functions, i think. That it uses a bounding box and checks if anything is inside or collide. This one also has a tollerance. So i guess it could work. Do you know what happens if the t…

@Rune_Haugland You are correct in your assumption, Tool.SurroundingElements uses the “ BoundingBoxIntersectsFilter ” witch filters out objects that are contained or intersects with the BB. The problem with bounding boxes is that they must be rotated along the global x and y axis. The image below shows…

For linked rooms there is a node from archi-lab package called “Elements in Room” that will give you elements inside rooms in linked.
