Hello everybody,
Does anybody by chance know a node/package/way to get the geometry of openings created in Revit, other than extracting by hand the informations through the parameters ?
Basically, I have a set of surfaces on Dynamo that represent (in a way) Revit objects, and I want to cut openings in the surfaces after operating on them (so I cannot simply intersect the surfaces with the imported geometry on Dynamo).
Thanks,
Mustapha
Can you please share all of your graph?
It’s basically it. I just selected the elements… Anyway, here it is.

Hi @Alban_de_Chasteigner, and thanks for the input.
Aren’t Bounding Box supposed to be aligned with the reference axis ? I mean, say that a have a wall that isn’t aligned with either the x axis nor the y axis and that one opening is situated on that wall. By using the Element.BoundingBox and the BoundingBox.toCuboid nodes, wouldn’t I get a solid that isn’t aligned with the initial element neutral axis ?
Are you talking of orthogonality ?
You score a good point. It doesn’t work properly with a diagonal wall.
Yeah, I was talking about that 
Maybe I can workout a graph to rotate the opening, create the BoundingBox and the Cuboid, and then rotate back the Cuboid… I think I already saw something like that on the forum, I better go get a look again.
Thanks anyway ! 
Hey,
Maybe this helps?
You can get the location curves from the Element.Location node…
Cheers,
Mark
Thanks, i’ll take a look at it. I’ll tell you about any results I get tomorrow.
I have a better proposal with Element.Geometry+ from Clockwork.
Wonderful ! Thanks
Where can I find the Deconstruct.Solid node? I tried the one in the Lunchbox package but it does not work.
Hi, can you send the picture again? because it can not be read. Thanks
Hit the Ctrl button and the scroll wheel should do the trick
