How to rotate a column created from a CAD file in Dynamo?

Revit
1

Hello,

I’m working with Dynamo to create structural columns based on a CAD drawing I imported into Revit.

I was able to extract the column positions from the CAD lines and create the columns, but I can’t figure out how to rotate them according to the orientation in the CAD file.

Any help on how to rotate columns using Dynamo after creating them from CAD lines would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Use a FamilyInstance.ByCoordinateSystem node as this will allow you to create a coordinate system (CS) with a rotation. Start with an Identity CS, rotate as required then translate to the required position - use this to place the family
