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.
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.
