Hi there,
After being inspired by @JacobSmall on his recent visit to our offices in Hong Kong, I’ve written a few scripts, however my latest one is taking a long time to run. Since I’m still quite new to Dynamo, I suspect that there are shortcuts/improvements to what I am doing, however I’m not sure where they might be.
I am collecting up to 10,000 revit family location points, converting them to survey coordinates, drawing vertical lines from each to find intersections with 3 layers of topography, then extracting the Z coordinates of those intersections, which are then fed back to the revit file to update the levels of the families. I am also exporting to excel this data, but turning this off in tests has not made much difference.
I have been testing this on up to 20 location points and it takes 12 minutes, but with 10,000 to do, that’s a lot of time.
what is taking the time… is it the extracting and returning of the revit family parameters…? (see extract of the script below)
any ideas…?
Nick.
btw, I cannot yet upload my dynamo script as I am a new user, but I’m happy to share if this becomes possible later.
