Hello everyone. I am a new dynamo user. I successfully thicken a surface of a floor along Z direction, and apply a boundingbox to that extrusion. The question is, is there a node that I can use to return all the elements(even without being selected in dynamo) contained inside the box?’ Thx!

import clr clr.AddReference('RevitAPI') clr.AddReference('System') clr.AddReference('RevitNodes') clr.AddReference('RevitServices') import Revit import RevitServices from Autodesk.Revit.DB import * from System.Collections.Generic import List from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager from…

Hi mostafa, Kulkul, Thx for both of your comments. However, is there another way for locating the pipes WITHOUT SELECTING THEM, the only element I selected is the floor. Thanks a lot.

I my example I didn’t select them, I got them all from the pipe category with the “categories” and “all elements of category” nodes

@Mostafa_El_Ayoubi I think @pccheung is looking to get elements (pipes) without using categories or selecting elements. I guess he wants to get elements inside boinding box without specifying.

In a real project, there will be beams, pipes, ducts, cable tray …etc above the floor. Do you mean I can only got all those stuff through categories node? Really, th…

You can do something like this: [image] With FilteredElementCollector you get all elements in the (active) view. And with BoundingBoxIsInsideFilter or BoundingBoxIntersectsFilter you can filter out the elements inside the bounding box: ##Python code: import clr clr.AddReference('RevitAPI') clr.…

Dear Einar_Raknes, Thank you very much. I am gonna try it out. It’s fascinating!!! THX!

Dear Sir Einar_Raknes, Sorry for being stupid, can me further explain to me what is the output of the python script note, because I use a watch node to check what it gives out, it shows me a null.

Oh Sorry, I quit and restart, it returns to normal. Sorry Sorry.

Hi, Interesting topic. I have a similar question. I have used this python script with a scope box and all works fine as long as i use the “Select model element” with one scope box. But i want to take this a step further by using categories to select all scope boxes. Then the issues starts. The scr…
