Get pointa from normal

Hi

It used to work, don’t know why it’s not any more, anybody can help


thank you

Hello, strange indeed, you could try to use a Vector.AsPoint node in between, but maybe reboot Dynamo (and sometimes Revit too) could help…

Wall orientation output a vector. What object type is that CN outputting? If it’s consistent then I would expect a vector, inwhich case Point.X etc will fail for obvious reasons. Check if there are any methods to extract XYZ coordinates from a vector, otherwise you’ll need to create a new point. Last time I checked, vectors always originate at file 0,0 so I wouldn’t expect extracting the start point to be of much use based on what I can glean from your image.

reboot u mean restart?, also this node can’t but it in between

Hi @Thomas_Mahon

this the object type. what u advice?, it so weird because just a week ago it was working

With OOTB nodes, nothing, since a that’s a Revit Xyz object and there are no methods available to do anything with it. You could try and see if you can index the list as Dynamo may treat them as lists of doubles, but I’d be surprised if that worked. Failing that:

  1. Find a package that can operate on Revit Xyz’s
    or
  2. Use the API/Python
    or
  3. Scrap the custom node and recreate the vector using OOTB nodes

It’s worked! ,Thank you! :relaxed:

That’s what I meant actually, and yes, restart is sometimes required:
