Hi everyone, I wrote a script that places elements in a radial configuration along a path. It works if the path is a linear segment, but has some issues in dealing with curved ones. In fact with my script I’m only able to evaluate the normal in the points of a singular curve. In the image below is…

Someone had a similar problem here which got solved: [image] Family around curved surface, Perpendicular to each point Revit Hello all, I’ve been trying to place families around curved surface but they are coming straight upright, whereas I want them to be perpendicular …

We can’t help you if you don’t show us your graph and what you’re actually getting. Make sure your screenshot includes the full graph (use Export Workspace) and the node preview bubbles are pinned.

Hi Nick, yes you’re right [3]

You go from 185 points (Curve.PointAtParameter) to 7 vectors (Surface.NormalAtPoint). You need to make sure that surface is distributed to each sublist of points. You can either do this by flattening the list of points or by using list levels. Try that and see where you get.

@marcello.carta check my recent post attached above. Let me know if it works for you. Regards, Atharva Purohit

Hi Atharva, it worked. Thank you

Great to know. Do mark as solutions so that it can help others! Regards, ap
