Lateral cover for bars

[Jorge_Villarroel]

Hi everyone,

1. I have the following script and I manage to put the bars at a determined cover relating the bar size, but I don’t know how to do it in the perpendicular faces of the element. Do you know how can I do it?

2. When I get the wall width, I only managed to get the width from the “wall types” node but if I put the “Model Element” (the selected element from the Revit model), it doesn’t get me the number/parameter I’m looking for. Why?

Thanks in advance!

PD: Try to do this on a single 20 or 30 thick wall.

Kulkul, Hi. I don´t see the similarity to my problem? What am I missing?

Thanks

Could you drop rvt file or post a link to the file uploaded on Drive, Dropbox, etc…

I tried your script it is working. Can you be more specific what is your query?

For you second question. It is because “Width” is a type parameter. If you need from model element you need to get element type as shown below.

Thanks for your time.

My queries are:

1. How can I do the cover in the perpendicular face (no the selected)
   

2. When you plug the “Select Model Element” node into the “Element.GetParameterValueByName” node, can’t get the info I need (width).

Thanks!

Are you trying to get top surface rebar?

Yes! Thanks a lot! I’ve been trying a different -longer- way of the same thing. Thanks really!
