I created a very simple dynamo to place a family. when I select a new point, family moving to that point. How can we correct it? It is possible if we using python to insert a new family. Anybody can advise me how it is possible by nodes?

Make the “Family Types” and “Select Point on Face” nodes as “input” by right-clicking on these two nodes separately. Then open your dynamo player and run this graph from there. You can change the family types and points from the dynamo player’s interface by selecting the edit input option.

Not working as you said.

Hi @shibujoseukken ,

This happens because this is the way Dynamo is programmed, to save RAM/ old data everything from old runs gets deleted. To circumvent this measure look into these posts or search on the forum for “Baking”.

> Hi I am trying to create floor finishes from rooms (similar to this: [http://dynamobim.org/forums/topic/creating-floors-from-rooms/](http://dynamobim.org/forums/topic/creating-floors-from-rooms/)) The script is fine but I was always under the impression that Dynamo modified elements it had already created. But in this scenario, when the script is re-run, say because a wall has moved, the floors are deleted and new floors are created. This causes problems with any additional info that has been added manually. Can anyone explain why this is the case? Why do …
