Dear DynamoForum Community,

I would really like to select rooms from area plan, to set parameters of these rooms from the parameters of the areas.

Any help would be much appreciated!

This relies heavily on the shape of your Area. Your bounding box will always be orthogonal and could give you false positives. Check out this post for a few options:

Hey @Nick_Boyts!

I have a residential building with numerous apartments, I made a Area Plan and defined the apartment with areas, then I’m using a Spline to number these apartments.

The rooms located in the “area” are supposed to be tagged by room number and apartment number.

I haven’t tried Element.AreaLocation node would do what I want.

I’ll let you know the results as soon as I use this node in my skript.
