I dont know which method is the right one. JoinGeometry?
It should work out as the solid.ByUnion in Dynamo nodes, but with the revit API, I dont want to use the solid.ByUnion cause the conversions and to use Dynamo nodes consume a lot of time (I tried out already and the code get really slow)

thanks in advance

Hi @igpema
JoinGeometry expects Revit elements, not geometries.

thanks

Not really sure I understand what you want to do. Join geometries in Dynamo? Or in Revit?

hi Mostafa,

i want to join solids in Dynamo with the revit API and not with the Dynamo Nodes solid.ByUnion. The solids are for a clash detection. If there is not a method for that in the API, i will find other way :slight_smile:

thanks in advance
