Questions about lines in window families

Hello everyone, can the opening line in the window family file be selected in Dynamo, and which node should be used?


From the Rhythm package you should be able to use “GetParameterValueByNameTypeOrInstance” to pull the value of that parameter. The return will either be 0 for unchecked and 1 for checked. And you can use “SetParameterByNameTypeOrInstance” to set the option using the same 0 or 1 values.

thanks for your help!Many window manufacturers provide window sash opening information in the Revit model. However, the opening area information cannot be read in the Revit family parameters. My idea is to extract the opening lines through Dynamo and then process it to calculate the area of the open fan, is it possible?

Yes it’s possible. Take the edges and make a polycurve by joined curves. Then use surface by patch to get a surface from the polycure then get the area of the surface.

Quicker way - you may be able to select the face of the opening to return the surface and then get the area of that surface.
