I’m working on a simple twisty tower exercise in dynamo and have come across some problems with the Floor.ByOutlineTypeandLevel node. It works fine with a rectangular floor outline:
but it doesn’t work if I have an elliptical floor outline and throws the error “Warning: Floor.ByOutlineTypeAndLevel operation failed. External component has thrown an exception.”:
I’ve attached the file as well:
twisty_Tower.dyn (145.5 KB)
Thanks!
I can’t see what your geometry is defined as, but if it’s a polycurve or polygon it may have to be broken up into individual curves.
Hi @Dennis_Goff
That did the trick @Kulkul thanks!
It works great! Thank you very much!
Can you explain why splitting does the trick? I’m curious. I’m a beginner at Dynamo.
Thank you!
Revit doesn’t allow periodic (closed) curves. It is the same if you try to draw a spline with a model line. This is why you need to split it and Dynamo can only create what is allowed in Revit.
