Getting rooms from scope boxes

[HulkSmash69420]

Hello, everyone. I need help filtering out all of the untagged rooms per scope box. It gets tricky because the rooms originate from a linked architectural model.

I’ve seen folks get elements inside the scope box by transforming them into bounding boxes, extracting the geometry, and then filtering the elements within that geometry. However, I doubt this strategy applies to rooms.

Ideally, this is how I visualize the node workflow to be. But with the lack of nodes relating to scope boxes / bounding boxes, I don’t know where to start

What have you tried so far?

If you have time please read How to get help on the Dynamo forums

I have tried transforming the scope box into a bounding box and using a python script in hopes of getting an output of all elements categorized by scope boxes. However, this doesn’t seem to work for rooms in particular

How to get the elements inside a boundingbox?

You can do something like this: [image] With FilteredElementCollector you get all elements in the (active) view. And with BoundingBoxIsInsideFilter or BoundingBoxIntersectsFilter you can filter out the elements inside the bounding box: ##Python code: import clr clr.AddReference('RevitAPI') clr.AddReference('RevitNodes') clr.AddReference('RevitServices') import Revit import RevitServices from Autodesk.Revit.DB import * from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager clr.ImportExtension…

Using FilteredElementCollector to filter a linked file make sure you are using the constructor with the link included - see FilteredElementCollector Constructor (Document, ElementId, ElementId)

FilteredElementCollector(
	hostDocument,
	viewId,
	linkId
)

Or use some biomorph nodes

This worked perfectly! Thank you
