Getting the parameter of the wall that is hosting the wall foundation

[nizarmalek10]

Hello,
I want to get the parameters of the wall that is hosting the wall above my wallfoundation, i used these two nodes as you see in the screenshot and it did not work i don’t know why can you suggest me what to do?

Thank you in advance.
Best regards.

GetHost nodes typically work with Families which are Face Based.

You probably have to look into Intersect Nodes.

which one helps? i need to get the parameters of the wall itself to use it in my schedules

I mean, I pointed you in a direction. Maybe try something yourself first?
Also there is tons to find about this question on these forums .

Hi, here is a direction by isolating the upper faces found their center point and launching a ray to detect the affected element
It remains a direction…

Hi @nizarmalek10 probably just get host could work…

[nizarmalek10]

which package did you use for the element host node?

[sovitek]

genius loci or element host + from clockwork should work as well

[nizarmalek10]

it returns nul as you see!

[sovitek]

ok are sure you have dynamoironpython 2.7 ver 2.5 package installed

[nizarmalek10]

yes i guess the issue is the version
