hello all, I supposed that the Element.Geometry node shows you the geometry but it is not true majority of times. For example I got a revit file with a library of many different revit families of model categories as generic models, site, equipment, furniture and I got more 900 family types and on…

You must add the Activate method to your script or in another python node.

Probably there are also a lot of nodes that can do that. My first with node from BimorphNodes v.3.0.3. [youarewelcome]

Thanks Nenad Kovacevic, I don’t want to get only solids, that example was like ideal solid made model, quite rare. Usually you find many combinations of geometry. I would like to get any geometry from a project file and from a family type stored on a project revit family library, but not placed ins…

@ziyun.shang do you have any thoughts on this one :slight_smile: ?

[image] Get Geometry of a family which has detail item Geometry hi guys i’m trying to retrieve the geometry of a family element which has only one detail element [image] the result is [image] No geometry but while i snoop i can see the solid geometry help me out […

Perhaps post an example containing the less rare content? Geometry failing in masse like this is actually extremely rare, and I have found often has to do with geometries which throw one or more suppressed warnings under the hood in Revit (slowing down models but allowing things to work - check your…

[FamilyType-14Wheels] @RubenVivancos , well I just use your file here BIMINONE_Large-14WheelsFlatbedTrailer.rfa, it seems work well with Element.Geometry. I saw your screenshot has a warning on “Element.Geometry” node, what is that?

[image] ziyun.shang: warning on “Element.Geometry” node, what is that? Hello @ziyun.shang , I repeated same than your screenshot for that family only, I get empty results, I tested it in Revit 2018 and Revit 2021 with different Dynamo versions, same results. [image] Warning: One or more…

try resetting your geometry scaling settings are set to medium, if you have modified them.

[image] Michael_Kirschner2: scaling settings are set to medium You are right, scaling was Extra large but I only get geometry of 5 family types more with scaling Medium. Same result with Large, and Small indicates on element. Geometry node with a warning that scaling has to be increased. […
