hi.

Is it possible to mark points on the edges (red points) at fixed distances( between all points) on all floors of the model? and then get the coordinates of those points using dynamo.  
if yes then how?

Search your library for `Curve.PointsAt` and you should see a significant number of options.

i used this script. instead of getting points on edge I am getting only 1 point why?

Look for Points plural, not Point singular. 🙂

cant find the node curve points at segment length so used curve point at equal segment length and it worked. instead of equally dividing the curve can I set distance between points

Go into the library, expand the geometry section, expand the curves section, and look closely in the action section.
