thanks alot.
this is for one floor(ground) how can I have it for the all floors in the model.


these points are excluded. how can we get these coordinates at these edges

similarlyy coordinates at these point. how can i adjust it

Hello…Instead of select face, then you can try category (Floors) , then all element from category, then filter the surfaces so you only hit the highest surface, and you should be good to go :wink:

Find the surface boundary curves and intersect this as well

@fil Here is a option for multiple floors…hope it will work for you…

Here is an example how to filter surface.

thankyou for your guide and help. means a lot.
I am sorry since you guide so well I want to ask another question here.
is it possible to mark fixed points on the boundary of each floor( like the red ones) at a fixed distance and then export the coordinates of each marked point on excel. if yes then how?

Great you can use it…anyway take a deep look an this side here and you will find answer to almost all questions Dynamo Dictionary or create a new topic

sure I will. but didn’t find anything related to parameter adjustment and scaling of isocurves


can I change this parameter so that I can have different number of curves on both sides

That is possible with list levels and lacing. The basics are discussed in the 3 videos on lists in this playlist: Dynamo Office Hours - YouTube

You only need to catch the basics, not the Q&A or intro, but sending time adjusted links in YouTube while on a mobile phone is a bit tough.

Yes its possible, but think there are a few issues with use Iso curves, not easy to control the distance between grids and its always sharp to xy coordinates so dont follow rotation

So here i had tried to make one with help from plane intersect, will not work in all cases…so if someone had a good solution i would love to hear it;)

Build your host surface via a loft instead of a patch and it should stay aligned.

cheers Jacob…i wil try :wink:

@fil …this one here should work for you, will always follow orientation, and option for grid size X and Y and offset the grid in both direction…here you will need Genius Loci and DynaMEP package…it is a little bit dirty, but works

Smart to use plans to get intersections.
To transform a Curve to Line, you can just use Geometry.Explode.

Thanks Alban, yes best to use OOTB if possible :wink:

@fil here is an upgraded version for DataShapes…

can you please explain this. i am not able to see these grids on my model. even If select the face

Hi @fil …very strange works for me here…Make sure you run from player for avoid elementbinding…

Try with this one here instead…and hope it will work for you…

see… when i select the face the window greyed out.
