Hi @khuzaimah.ElecEng,

This only works if the references are defined in the family.

See if this helps…

Apologies for the mess, I’m working at speed :slight_smile: Hopefully you can optimise and adapt it…

If the columns are all rectangular then that will help… You know that you will (almost) always want faces 0 & 2 and 1 & 3 for your references etc.

Alban has a Dimension By References node which I would use…
