good morning
I am making a script about placing clamps along a pipe.
the script basically reads an excel (coordinates of each clamp), I select the host (pipe) and select the family. the result is that it draws the family but at level 0. I need urgent help, thank you.
Hi,
Can you show the list with the points? What is the value of point z?

good morning
Attached excel sheet and screenshot, (contains absolute z values since revit level is 0)

Thank you.
If I understand you correctly he place them on the wrong level? the rest of the coordinates are correct?
if it is correct the X and Y coordinate does not recognize the elevation. I have tried another generic family that does not need a host and it does it correctly (X, Y, Z)
is the height of the pipe and the family to be placed the same?
Good morning:
IF THEY ARE THE SAME
Yes, is the offset of the pipe and the z value of the clamp the same?

Hmm strange, can you do something with Element.Setparameter and then with the level parameter?
Please be carefull with that, do it in a test project. You have a lot of elements…
What is the point of using the pipes as a host?
GOOD MORNING:
Sorry for taking so long to reply, but I couldn’t connect. I have made two excel sheets (one for pipes and another for supports) that contain the common information X Y Z. They represent the pipe axis
So, if i understand correctly the clamps don’t ‘need’ a host, so make them so (not ‘host based)’.
