Get location for an element

[mohammed.saleh9KDFV]

I am trying to get the lacation for an Element (section) but can not work with node Getlocation and always have this warning.
Warning: Element.GetLocation operation failed.
The location of the structural element is not a valid curve.

Get Section location

I was able to get location of a view with a couple nodes from Rhythm package. But not sure if it always works… [Capture]

Hi,
You can use the Element LocationCurve node from the Genius Loci package.

I am trying to get the curtain wall panel location but getting this same error. anyone plz help

[Joe.Charpentier]

The Element.GetLocatioin node only works on “linear” (line based) elements such as beams, braces (Structural Framing) or walls. (walls are generally defined by a line in plan and a vertical extent referenced to levels at the top/bottom).

I’m not very familiar with Curtain walls/curtain panels, but I would expect the panel to be a 3d element.
Maybe you can try Element.Geometry or Element.BoundingBox instead? (Note that this will probably return a Dynamo solid that you will need to further parse)

Without knowing what you are trying to do with the info, I’m afraid I can’t give you better advice.
