Place Family by Points (from Excel)

[Vera.Anichina]

Hello,
I am trying to place a family to several points, which are listed from Excel.
Family Type is Spring.Collected from model.
Do I need to convert the list of points (output – item)–>to list with geometry output? Is there a way to do this?
Also, Family Type from Spring Collector Filter has ID #, and it is placed only once, when I am trying with nodes "for testing”

Thank you!

Hi @Vera.Anichina

What happens when you run did it placed all of them? Could you show watch node @ “FamilyInstance.ByPoint”

Hi @Kulkul
When I run, it doesn’t place anything. Comes out with Warning.
And only one item placed when I use List of points with geometry output

I need to place the family types by points for wich i already have a list with points (the one named above) and i need a list of family types in the order that given in the last list (the third named above). How can i create a that last list? Thanks for the help! [image]

Lists matching

subscript This post and many other posts I recently have replied made me realize that there is a need for a node that can filter two lists by keys… I have made this node as generic as possible so it may be used as widely as possible. In this case is it Revit and Excel data that is filtered by key. The node is named “List.FilterListByKey”. Besides is there also a need for a node that load families that is overwritten and upgraded if needed. This node is named “File.LoadFamily”. Likewise is there…

It looks like your Family Type input is a list of a list. You might have to flatten it or try setting your lacing to Longest.
