yes but i will only try on your ceiling.rvt, they other is almost impossible to load , not purged and are in 2019 where the ceiling file is in 2020…ps i will test in 2022 as i can go lower…

now i have test on your ceiling,rvt linked in works fine here in 2022 if it doesnt work for you then its probably because you are in 2019-2020…

I updated the Revit files to Version 22 and am still getting errors when I run the script.

I updated the link with the upgraded Revit file.
Hopefully, you can use the Revit file as the link now.

Thanks,

I updated the files in that link. to Revit 22.

33

sorry cant help you more as i cant create that issue, try check sparrow is the latest etc…but the node have some limits as mention…but does it work on that ceiling.rvt i tried on

34

Could you try the Revit file I shared with you in that link? I updated Revit 22.

It is called “A_IWFC_2022-Test.”

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

35

Then its probably have some other issue i see you have a ceiling with 27 boundery lines and probably some nulls …so thats the issue it very impotent these lines are valid…btw what does the warning say and again does it work on that ceiling.rvt file

If can’t make it work I will try to add those ceiling grids to the Revit file itself instead of using a Revit link.

Hello @sovitek, I have attached my script on ceiling grids. I wonder why the T-BAR does not appear correctly, as the “T” should be at the bottom. Do I do something wrong?

Thank you.
