Hello,

how do i get the Location of my Instances as Point ?

import clr
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
clr.AddReference('RevitNodes')
import Revit
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.GeometryConversion)

elements = UnwrapElement(IN[0])
points =[]

for e in elements:
	points.append(e.Location.ToPoint())

OUT = points

ToPoint does not work

Have you tried setting them to ToDSType(True)

points.append(e.Location.ToPoint().ToDSType(True))

@Alien ,

import clr
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')

from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
clr.AddReference('RevitNodes')

clr.AddReference('ProtoGeometry')
from Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry import *

import Revit
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.GeometryConversion)

elements = UnwrapElement(IN[0])
points =[]

for e in elements:
	points.append(e.Location.ToPoint().ToDSType(True))

OUT = points

no

@Alien ,

so i got the points BUT scaled, why? i need just a point from my door … it makes no sence

is there a simpler way, have i to convert each point X,Y,Z to metric system ?

for door in doors:
	location = door.Location
	if location:
		point = location.Point
	if point:
		locations.append(point)

for i in locations:
	Points.append(Point.ByCoordinates(i.X,i.Y,i.Z))
	
OUT = Points

Try [i.ToPoint() for I in revitPoints]

The values are likely returning in feet not in meters, which would cause this type of scaling issue. If my method doesn’t work at the right scale, multiply by the scale factor for your units in your method.

Edit: you might need to increase your imports as well.

@christian.stan @jacob.small @Alien ,

i did this way

doors = UnwrapElement(IN[0])
locations = []
Points = []

for door in doors:
    location = door.Location
    if location:
        point = location.Point.ToPoint()
    if point:
        locations.append(point)
for i in locations:
    Points.append(i)
OUT = Points

@christian.stan ,

your scripte creates that

There are only 15 lines without the attached script
odd
