`GetHost` nodes typically work with Families which are Face Based. You probably have to look into `Intersect` Nodes. ---

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… ![reponse 7 mai 2024_2024-05-07_11-36-28](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/0/2/0254f60e31d3f6600dd300d125297017abf5bc1a.png) Sincerely christian.stan ---
