Hi all, I am developing a dynamo script to make an opening in a rebar set, the main issue I am facing is that I cannot read each rebar in the rebar set. any suggestions ? thank you

It depends on which type your active view is. If it is a 3D view the above code should work. You can try to change this to false in a section view with detail level set to coarse: opt.IncludeNonVisibleObjects = False (I don’t know if it will work or not)

[image] ali.safiaddine: but for the rebar set I cannot do that it is only reading the first bar and changing it to a curve. Try changing Lacing to “Longest” if you have list.

selecting the rebar set is reflecting only one element (ID number of the rebar set ) if I can get the rebars in a list my problem will be solved

this is the case am having [image]

@ali.safiaddine It would be better if you can drop dummy rvt file here?

@Kulkul This is the file TEST REBAR SET.rvt (1.3 MB)

Try this custom node: It will return all bars in the set. You will not get the cruves but the solid bars Rebar.GetFullGeometryForView.dyf (3.3 KB) import clr clr.AddReference('RevitAPI') from Autodesk.Revit.DB import * from Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure import * clr.AddReference('RevitNodes') impo…

hi @Einar_Raknes thank you for replying I tried it, it returned null! [image]

@ali.safiaddine You can try with get_Geometry(opt) in stead: [image] import clr clr.AddReference('RevitAPI') from Autodesk.Revit.DB import * from Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure import * clr.AddReference('RevitNodes') import Revit clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.GeometryConversion) clr.ImportExtensions…

WOW that’s really amazing thank you but if i want only the rebar centreline what can i do? sorry for that but am not familiar with python

How can we read a rebar set?

@ali.safiaddine Check this post, I think that it is a better solution:
