Query of Objects inside an inserted DWG-file in Revit

Hi,

I encounter the following problen, which I unfortunately cannot solve:

I have a DWG-File containing 13 closed polylines (see the figure).

Fig1.jpg1583×645 97.9 KB

After I import the file into Revit, some of the polylines are sticked together and will be recognized as one line in case of a query. E. g. these two:

Fig2.jpg1193×785 52.3 KB

You find both dwg-file and rvt-file attached.

polylineproblem-2017-02-28.dwg (40.8 KB)
polylineproblem-2017-02-28.rvt (328 KB)

The background of my question ist that I want to work with the geometry of these 13 closed polylines, I want to get their geometries (polycurves) in Dynamo in order to construct floors. But revit reconizes fewer than 13 polylines.

I would be grateful of any help?

Hello babysatch,

I stumbled upon this helpful video which seems to do exactly what you are looking for:

Hello T_Pover,

do you know how I can download the lisp-file from the screencast?

In my opinion it is not available at all, is it?

Thank you.

Hmm, I dont’t know about that Lisp file. You could try contacting the author of the screencast.

Another way to do it would be to get data out of AutoCAD and write it to a text file. Then read the data in Dynamo.

From the video, why would we want many Floors for one level? Wouldn’t a better, old-fashioned, way to make the floor be to pick the outer lines from the DWG in the floor sketch?
