Well this is what i got so far.
Seems like something is working but not as it should.
i tried placing a simple generic family at the calculation points for my room height calculation.
But they all end up at the bottom around the same region (see screenshot).
any ideas?
i also wierdly seems to clash alot with a beamtype not with floors wich i find strange as well.
To recap the idea is to retrieve the roomheight in a linked model by raybouncing from the roombase point in the Z-direction and then calculate the diffence.
so the blocks of the base points should ba all over the place instead of in one point.
