Hi everyone,

I need some help with my Dynamo workflow. I have modeled a structure using points and lines (blue lines), and I used the Geometry.Translate node to copy this line structure to a new position.

In my original structure, I have already placed Revit beams and columns (white lines). However, since Geometry.Translate only copies the geometry (lines), I am not sure how to replicate or copy those Revit structural elements (beams and columns) into the new location.

@nickydelivery2004 my guess without try, would probably group them, copy group by vector and maybe ungroup again. or simple build again with these translated curves…depends…all of these method can be automated 😉

Hi @nickydelivery2004 ,

Usually when your car is broken, you bring it to a garage, now you’re at the garage without a car, could you please update your Dynamo files and add some screenshots of it, and maybe also a same Revit file accompanying it?
