Can I just input the coordinate, top and bottom level, type of pile to form a vertical “structural column” in Revit by dynamo? What script should I use?
@Giuseppe_Dotto Thank you bro!!
I can import the piles with designed depth by excel now.
However, is it possible to set the piles tip just reach to a “surface element / topography”? like rockbed.
Is it a way to set the pile with bounding box and the bounding box attach to the topography?
If you get the bottom position of the pile as a point, then you use “Point.project” to project the point onto the surface.
Then you can take the original point away from the new point will give you a distance, then add this to the base offset parameter of the element. You may need to make this a minus value not a plus value.

Thank you Cassidy, I have been trying many times, what should be the node “Point.project” output?
@Brendan_Cassidy
Thank you Cassidy, I have searched a lot about projection, and now I can make the piles attach to topography. However, the script seems no any error, but in 3D view, all pile seems longer than they should be a little bit…
The “blue point” is attached on the topo correctly, but the element extended longer…
I would suggest you check the Pile Family you are using because it could have a “Extension” geometry within it (Eg Embedment length).
