Getting a value between 0.1 and 1 using Python

[Sigma]

Hi all,

I have a list of vectors and I am trying to filter out the “Z” values to only contain values between 0.1 and 1. Once I have a list, I need to match these up to the original Vectors to get a new list containing only the Vectors between 0.1 and 1.
I don’t have much python experience but this is what I have tried so far:

I also tried to run nested if loops to test if Z was bigger than 0.1 and if Z was less than 1, but that just returns the entire original list I fed into Python.
I know this can be done without Python but I am trying to get better at it. If someone could help me with this I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Python is not needed for this.
This should work just fine:

Code:
Input >= 0.1 && Input <= 1 ? true : false;

Edit: Sorry i did not fully read that you would like to do this in Python, let me try doing this in python

[Sigma]

Thank you very much, that worked perfectly!

I see you are trying it in Python as well, if you could show me that workflow I would be grateful!

[Daan]

Yes, look at this:
*Note, if you only want the values in between, remove the =

If Statement in Python.dyn (7.3 KB)

Thank you so much, I tried the “and” before, but i missed the ‘else’ I think that is why it wasn’t working

It actually still isn’t working, but I think that is most likely because I have to import additional references?? But that is not important for now, I just wanted the correct syntax for the function.
Thanks very much for your time and effort Daan

It is possible that you need to import Revit and Dynamo into your Python. that is done like this:
*Note: I am not 100% sure that you need all of this. Maybe you can drop some lines

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

clr.AddReference("RevitNodes")
import Revit

from Revit.Elements import *

import clr
clr.AddReference("DSCoreNodes")
from DSCore import *

import sys
sys.path.append(r'C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\DLLs')
sys.path.append(r'C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\Lib')

I tried this and got the following result:

I have a hunch that it has to do with my list structure in the p.Z code block where I have 3 levels, I assume I have to account for that somewhere in the code maybe, as the Python is outputting 2 levels only?

[Daan]

I do not know what causes that problem or how to solve that with python build you could try this:

List.Flatten > Python > List.Chop
and then have a list.count on list level 2 be the input for the list.chop

Or maybe try adding more brackets [ ] in the python code itself.

[Sigma]

The list.flatten > python method does work, so it’s definitely a list management issue inside the Python node… I will look around and see if I can figure this out, but you have done more than enough to help, really appreciate it

[Daan]

No problem, I like to share my knowledge

[jacob.small]

Looks like you need to loop over the lists of lists to get the data, that is for L in Lst then move into for d in data.

That worked perfectly, thanks so much Jacob!!
