Hi Dynamo Community, I am new to this. i need to place family in revit using X,Y,Z co-ordination… X & Y value got from autocad to excel, for z value based on face i need to place a family. ( For example : like placing lights in ceiling based on autocad X&Y, based on revit model Z value). As of now …

Try to use the point.project node like so: [image]

Hmmm. I guess I should’ve been asking for the error that comes from the Point.ByCoordinates node.

No Z value input have some error… i think i made mistake in script…

what is your custom node ‘Transfrom_Revit_In’ doing ? Whatever it is, Point.ByCoordinates does not like it- so the error from this node would be useful

Autocad to Excel to Revit try.dyn (55.1 KB) Hi Sir thanks for reply… i uploaded the dynamo file… that custom node from HOT GEAR node…

[image] this is co-ordination from autocad to excel. Now in i need to place circular family in bottom face of floor and beam. beam and floor in different height…

Any nodes for align the family based on face…? once create family based on x&y co-ordination…

Try Springs Point.PullontoPlane & Clockwork Plane.ByBestFitFromFace. Get the element.geometries and filter out faces with the lowest z value, Get planes from those faces and project your X&Y points onto them. Does that work for you ?

Hi Thanks for reply… i tried i think i did mistake… it is not align… i am very new to dynamo… let me know what i have to change… [image]

Can you attach your graph and a sample Revit file? There’s an error there somewhere but I can’t tell from this.

Thank you so much sir . it worked… [image]
