How to find empty spaces?

Revit
5

Here is my schematic idea for doing this, though, via dynamo.

  1. Get all the wall interior and exterior location lines.
  2. Find the intersection point between these location lines.
  3. Use the intersection points to create polycurves/polygons.
  4. Get the perimeter curves of all the rooms/spaces in view.
  5. Use the does.intersect node to determine if the polycurves/polygons in 3 intersect with the polygons/solids made from the room curves.

The polygons not intersecting with the room curves would be the empty spaces. You could then place rooms/spaces at the centre points of the non-intersecting polygons. :thinking::thinking:

Interesting thread here that might help. I’ve become interested in this. Haha.
