Hi Experts,

I am new to dynamo and need assistance to place building pads of a specified dimension at a particular angle underneath foundations using dynamo.  
The foundations are placed using a dynamo script at specified points i.e. being read from excel file. I now want to place a building pad using dynamo script. Is this possible and if yes please guide me. Thanks
