Need help for script

[pjangid81]

Hi,

I am very new to Dynamo and Revit. I am just go through one of Autodesk Knowledge network article, " Place 3D Beams from Imported 3D Drawings" and getting curious to know is it possible through using dynamo quickly.

Link for article : https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/revit-products/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2016/ENU/Revit-DocumentPresent/files/GUID-C00D5B51-6AC4-408C-86D5-531C1F3D13E8-htm.html

I have created some 3d polylines with different layers considering different I-Beams will be place same as shown in article with respective layers.

Is it possible to make an dynamo script for it.

Kindly guide me.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Pankaj

You have to create Dynamo geometry/lines from the imported dwg lines, or import the dwg via dynamo, than use the StructuralFraming.BeamByCurve node to create the beams.

Hi @infeeeee,

It works…Thanks a lot!

Now my only problem is to rotate that beam around X-axis?

Can you guide me?

Please use the search button on the top right corner of the site. A lot of questions was already answered.

I searched for ‘rotate beam’ these are the top results:

Beam rotation

Hi everyone, I’m trying to get the rotation of a beam but “Elements.get.Rotation” is not working with a beam. Does anyone know how to get the rotation of a beam. Thanks already! [vraag%202]

Structural beams rotation around own axis

Been trying to figure out away to control the orientation of a structural beam in section relative to a specific surface/line (green)? I use the “StructuralFraming.BeamByCurve” node on a list of lines to generate the beams, but no luck in controlling a rotation angle around a beam’s axis. See images below: [purlins]   [purlins 2]
