How do i find [and measure] Elements surrounding the MEPspace?

[damien_h]

i’ve been working and thinking about this a lot.
I’m aware you can use ray casting with python script,
and map out the surrounding elements from the centre of the room.
but my floor area will list as total floor area for each level.
same goes for ceiling.
walls could be done, but is there a option to put North/South/East/West for the room surrounding walls?

thanks in advance for the time you invested in reading/answering it.

greetings,

Damien

Hi,

I am not sure if i understand you properly. Are you trying to get walls orientation?

[damien_h]

hey,

That actually answers a good chunk of the overall question i’ve had.
but can wall [exterior wall, interior wall perhaps seperate?] orientation also been done room/space specific?

thanks for responding so quickly and solving a part of my overall question.

while testing your solution, i found that my version[1.0] didn’t respond the same as yours.
its a small problem where i can find a solution for within a couple of minutes but i thought i let you know whats about.

Hi Damien,

You need to change lacing to longest for “List.FirstItem” and “List.RestofItems”.
