Hi guys,
I am new to dynamo. Is there a way to get information from an area schedule and make a solid from that information? I have an area schedule that spits out total Frame of a house. I need to make an object to have the same area of that total frame. it seems simple to me but I’m not sure how to do it. The schedule is called Total Frame. Its adds up all my area boundaries that have a perimeter clicked yes on Total Frame and has 1 area number ie 3500 sqft. I want to make an object with that same sq ft. Please help.
Can anyone help?
What do you mean by ‘object’? A 3D object or do you just want a view with detail item placed that has the correct area?
If you want to do the 2D detail item just make a simple square family and get dynamo to calculate the square root of the value in the area schedule. Then it would be a simple case of setting the width and length parameters of the 2D detail item with the sq root value…
my material manager only picks up objects. a 2d might work. but i was thinking a solid
Ok well, the same principle applies as above but instead with a generic model rather than 2D detail item.
The following nodes will probably be of use to you, have a go yourself and see how far you can get.
If you get stuck post images here including any error messages and I’m sure someone would be willing to help
Thank you
