Points inside voids

Hello all

I have a question,
How to get lists of points on the panels in the picture. I want to locate the Points on the right corner of the panel that is hidden by the void. The voids are in the family. Is this possible?

If the original geometry was a cuboid and axis aligned, you could use a Bounding Box to determine the extents and with a little math (if required) get the desired points.

If you would use Element.Geometry and see what is in the list you get and derive the start/end points of the lines/curves in the list, there might be some logic there.
If you click an object like a curve/line inside the list, it lights up in the dynamo preview.

Tnx guys for suggestions.
Ok, I tried using a bounding box and i got to this point. I understand that I need some trigonometry to get the desired points, but but what are the steps in the dynamo for that (Which nodes?).


Width and Height are dimension parameters in family.

An this is my graph

I 'm totally green in dynamo so i need help :slight_smile:

Vikram was suggesting something similar to the below:

Ok, I did it, tnx a lot :slight_smile:
But now I have to move those points that mark the middle of the hole to the position of the air terminals as you can see in the picture.



I made a graph but it doesn’t want to take that last step.


Family Parameters Rec_X1, Rec_Y1 are actually the distance of the hole axis from the right corner of the panel

Any suggestions?

Here is my dynamo script and demo project.
