Hi all, I am a relative newbie to Revit/Dynamo, I am a Junior CAD Technician for a structural engineering company, I am currently learning how to use Dynamo to number piles, however this specific tool requires use of a spline, and as I am trying to number 500+ piles, it is very difficult to use a s…

Hi, Might be worth sharing some images to help us get an idea. I’ve never heard of numbering piles using the spline tool? For any numbering systems if it follows some logic you can normal automate it fairly easily, however, it kinda needs to follow some sort of pattern. For example, I work in MEP …

[image] As shown in this image, the site is on the left with just the piles on the right, I am trying to number each pile on the right without having to run a spline through all of it.

Sorry mate, I’m clueless how using spline tool and numbering is related.

[image] Using this dynamo script, I run the spline through all of the piles, then run the script, and it should number each pile in order down the spline, however this is a long and tedious process and I am wondering if it could be sped up.

Ahh alright gotcha, Ermm, I wouldn’t know of a way to speed it up, like I said I use numbering via the method above. If there is a pattern in the numbering try and use that to your advantage. But I’m afraid that’s all I know, sorry I couldn’t be of more use.

No worries thank you very much for the help :slight_smile:

@JRoach I can figure the pain it would be to renumber this manually, so here is a proposal: [Element-renumber-by-container] In short, I create solids from walls location lines (because it’s the easiest in my case, but any boundary lines would work as well) which I use to group the columns and to…

Adjusting a spline isn’t actually all that hard - set your start point, and your end point, those are the only items you don’t want to move as they adjust the overall scale. From that point it’s easy enough to add and subtract points so you catch all elements. You are correct that doing one spline …

Wouldn’t be easier to make use of the grids (if there are any in the project)? [image] Begin and endpoint of a wall linked to the closest intersection of grids Revit It would be simpler to code this indeed, but I found the challenge interesting and I built something that s…
