Hi all, I’ve been working on a script to have Dynamo read an excel file with as-buit piles and have them show up in green and red in Revit when they are within or over a set distance from the designed pile. I thought it worked. Well…it did in my test project with 6 piles and about a meter (X and Y…

@Mike_Wellink This might give you some better picture with nodes: [image] Hope that make Sense!

Hi @Mike_Wellink [image] Mike_Wellink: To my surprise the coordinates aren’t even close to the ones in the list the contractor provided. You need to transform coordinate systems origin.

Hi @Kulkul , Thanks for your fast response. I’ve allready read something about that. Somewere there is also the mentioning of using Solids and then getting the coordinates. But that didn’t work. So I’ve got a few option when using Transform: [image] I guess I need to use the 4th one and connect…

@Mike_Wellink Could please drop your dummy rvt file here. So that we can provide you possible solutions. Thanks :slight_smile:

Sorry…sure…Will do. Paalmisstanden 2.0.rvt (2.4 MB) Pile coördinates to Excel 1.1.dyn (41.1 KB)

@Mike_Wellink Is this the right coordinates your looking for? [image]

Hi @Kulkul , those are the coordinates I’m looking for to get out of my model. How did you do that? Did you made big changes to the script or was it al about adding a simple node?

[image] Mike_Wellink: was it all about adding a simple node? @Mike_Wellink I guess not. Try the script For Mike Pile Coordinates to Excel 1.2.dyn (24.6 KB)

Okay…Thanks…but…what is the Python script doing? Having someone els finishing the script is not something I prefer…don’t get me wrong! I can use all the help I can, but I have no clue on what it does…the logic behind the script I mean. Looking at the script and the multiple points I get in Dynamo …

Hi @Kulkul , this makes more sense to me indeed. I also tryed getting the coordinates as is and subtract the differance between PBP and SP. But then the coordinates still didn’t come out okay. Seeing your script above made me understand why. I probably forgot to get the Project North and True Nort…

@Mike_Wellink No problem :wink: Have fun :smile:
