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 opening…

I have a better proposal with Element.Geometry+ from Clockwork. [Openings%202]

Can you please share all of your graph?

It’s basically it. I just selected the elements… Anyway, here it is. test_openings.dyn (10.4 KB) [2018-07-31%2014_50_31-Dynamo]

Hi, You can use the boundingbox when when everything failed. [Openings]

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 B…

Are you talking of orthogonality ? You score a good point. It doesn’t work properly with a diagonal wall. [Bbox]

Yeah, I was talking about that :confused: 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 ! :slight_smile:

Hey, Maybe this helps? http://dynamobim.org/forums/topic/wall-openings-intersection-of-wall-geometry-with-elevated-wall-location-line/ You can get the location curves from the Element.Location node… Cheers, Mark

Wonderful ! Thanks :slight_smile:

Where can I find the Deconstruct.Solid node? I tried the one in the Lunchbox package but it does not work.

Thanks, i’ll take a look at it. I’ll tell you about any results I get tomorrow.
