I have been using this node since a while until 1 month ago starts to misbehave until now it is totally unfunctional. i just need help to detect the where does the issue come from to be able to remedy as this node is indispensable.
each time i am running the script , i have got no output from this node specially the input are not correct.
If you’re using Dynamo 2.13, be sure to have the DynamoIronPython2.7 package installed. It is no longer installed by default in Dynamo.
Thanks for your reply, i am using Dynamo 2.6.1 and i have installed the package that you have mentioned and still doesn’t work. do you have any other advices ?
Test it on a very. Simple model to start with.
If that fails edit the custom node and copy the content into the main workspace. Wire in the associated Python to what were the nodes inputs before, and check any warning.
If that fails post the edited DYN and sample model.
I have tried on a test file and i still have the same result even after after copying the content from the original node and wire it directly
.i have attached in the below the link the Dynamo script and the original file along with the linked file.
Thanks a lot
Hi,
The face opening categories are probably not supported by the API method (BoundingBoxIntersectsFilter).
The custom node is probably working fine with supported categories so the problem is not with the custom node.
Hello,
thanks for your reply, the face opening category is “Generic model” and it is face based family,
how can we be sure that generic models are not supported by API method (BoundingBoxIntersectsFilter).
and if it is the case why it was working in the begining and suddenly it isnot working any more ?
Hi,
I thought of these opening categories :
Anyway, your void family doesn’t return geometry, which could be a possible cause.
It could also come from the coordinates of the link which would require a transform upstream of the intersection of bboxes.
Hello ,
Thanks for your reply, actually i thought about that but i have done another test but this time i have used same families “Rectangular Openings” against other elements but all of them are natively in the same file not from linked file. i got the result properly even if the elements “Rectangular openings” aren’t returning any geometry.
So, i donot believe that it comes from the fact that the families are void or maybe when it is void it has to be natively but if it is in a link, the Revit API doesn’t call it. do you have any advice ?
Hello, did you ever get the GetsurroundingElements node to work? I am running into the same problem where the node returns “empty list”
