Floor span direction line extract

[jonas.blazinskas]

Hi All,

How would one extract floor span direction in a form of a line? I want to draw joist positions as polylines but I need to somehow extract the direction in which my lines are supposed to be running.

Thannk you for your help in advance!

Regards,

How to Identify Floor Span and Width, then create parameters with these values?

Hi Everyone, I was quite surprised to find that Revit Floors don’t have Span Lengths or Widths. I have just started using dynamo and initially tried to estimate the Floor dimensions using Bounding Boxes as that can give me the coordinates of the min and Max values of XYZ for each instance of floor, however if a floor is rotated, the estimation falls apart. I have now tried to identify surfaces and collect the xyz points from the corners of each surface from each instance. I got stuck at ident…

Floor span direction

Hi Anyone knows how to deal with span direction in floors. I wish to get the direction out in form of a line or vector.

Any idea why I am getting 6 ouputs when I only have 3 floors? As well as I only have 1 floor spanning in different direction out of 3 so not sure why i have 3 x a value of 0 or 1.57?

Messed around a bit and i found out per item in the list it checks the enitre list upto that item.

So if you have 1 floor, you get 1 output, 2 means 3 outputs, ect.

I think i fixed te code:

import clr

elist = IN[0]

elements = []
out_list = []


for i in range (0, len(elist)):
	elements=UnwrapElement(elist[i])
	angle = elements.SpanDirectionAngle
		
	out_list.append(angle)	

OUT = out_list
