I have some MEP family elements saved as a Revit group. How can I insert that group in a new Revit model by specifying location? What packages are available for that? Where can I download it from? As a newbie in Dynamo- I am not very good at programming. Thanks.

Also Dynamonodes.com is a nice resource to find packages: DynamoMEP has a node called Group.PlaceGroupInstance SeamNodes has a node called Tool.PlaceGroupAtPoint You can download them in the package manager: http://dynamoprimer.com/en/10_Packages/10-1_Introduction.html Good luck tomorrow!

Have you tied this? [image] How to Place a Revit Model Group? Revit Hi @RLietz , I have donned my blue cape and have personally written this for you in Python. It does what you ask (and in mm astonished). It’s not fool proof as unfortunately I am sitting next to my Krypt…

Thanks a lot. It clarifies the problem. Hope the solution won’t be too far. Regards.

You mean place a group orientated to a space? Not sure if this is going to be very useful, but if that is the case and you can code, it’s yes with a but - I did something very similar recently where an element in the group was used to match to a place holder in the model. The catch is, group element…

I don’t know if we are talking about the same thing here, This is what I would like to do. if I create a group of the sanitary pipes for a typical hotel room, and then I assign that group to all the spaces named xx in the model. Would that be possible with a Dynamo script?

Please start a new thread. This question has an answer.
