Is it possible to prompt the user to pick a point in Revit from Dynamo and return the picked point in Dynamo? ---

Hi Koz, Are you looking for something like this? ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/2X/1/123e4319981a08bef0867f2029eedf7aa0dc1651.gif) ---

Thanks for the reply Kulkul, but this is not what I am looking for. I intend to enable users pick a point on the plan and then create or detect rooms from that point. It is very possible that the point is picked in an empty region inside a room. ---

I managed to get it done by using Selection.PickPoint method from APIUI. ---

Here is the code, quite simple and I have added the option to display TaskDialog to inform users about picking the point. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/2X/a/a87573ec9dbece928d4d26014f83b4f14a3ff3c1.png) ---

This is an simple App made by this concept ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/2X/0/0b38a8107b362bcf4fcaacb6340ba7d47e6430b3.gif) ---

neat, you should be able to do something similar with a UI node if you wanted (like the selection nodes shown), so the button could be integrated into the node. ---

This is really helpful. Is it possible to pick up a point on a drawing sheet using this script ? ---

I am new to Dynamo. How to change this solution to fit with Civil3D? ---

To enable picking points or picking/selecting obejcts in AutoCAD, please try nodes in UI branch in LinkDWG or LinkDWG2 package. ---

Hi Koz, Iā€™m using this code but the point that I select in Revit is not the one that it returns. I donā€™t understand why you multiply each component by 304.8. Also, Iā€™m trying to select a point from a curve surface, could it be possible with this? Because itā€™s curve, I cannot put it as the main plain in Revit. Thanks, Ɓlvaro
