Hi all,
I’m attempting to get the locations of some elements and then place a family on those points, however I’m stuck on the first half.
Here’s what it looks like at the moment, what’s the correct way to do this?
@Ramsden you can use this solution.
Maybe a duct has no location point, only lines ?
@Johannes_Meiners you can create point or set of points using pointatparamenter node.
@Johannes_Meiners I think you’re correct about not having points as @rexfrancojesse method didn’t work.
Would I be correct in assuming the ‘0.5’ will give me the center of the curve as the point?
Also could you tell me which package the ‘Element.LocationCurve’ node is from?
Thanks
@Johannes_Meiners This node seems to have given me some results, is this what I’m looking for?
Can I now use this list of points to insert a family?
0,5 is the T-Value of a curve, like 0.5 of the curve length.
Here the info for the package:
You could also use your ´"Element.Location" and take the curves
Try it !
Almost a success!
The families loaded in but are slightly off.
For clarification, I’m trying to load in a cast-in family acquired from a manufacturers website. The locations of which we have shown as ducts up until this point.
The errors in the Z axis I expected to have to manually correct anyway, due to different length ducts/different thicknesses of slabs throughout.
For some reason they are all 125mm West of the intended position. As they appear to all be wrong I can select all and move them, but it would be nice to know where I went wrong. Do you have any idea?
Look at the family, you place the family by it´s location point to the point you got from the duct lines.
Maybe you can change the origin of the family in the family editor?
