Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to read with Dynamo the parameters of the reference points of a family loaded in a project. I would like to get the names and coordinates of each referencepoint in a family loaded into a project. It’s possible? [image] [image]

Anybody here? I am behind the same approach and I have tried all the AdaptiveComponentInstanceUtils methods with no success. It only retrieves the adaptive points as Referece Point type and I can retrieve the parameters but this seems not to be accessible for the Reference Points.

Try the node AdaptiveComponent.Locations.

Thank you @jacob.small for your response. This is giving me access to the location as an Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry.Point type of the adaptive points and reference points that are visible within the family file. My goal is to get the element ID of the reference points and then, access to their…

Can you post a sample file with one adaptive component in it and your Dynamo graph so far so i can replicate the issue? Exactly what you have and how you’ve gathered it isn’t clear. It may also be that there are other ways to accomplish what you’re after, so some insight on the ‘why’ could help as w…

Hi @jacob.small , I’ve been after the same information and think I can shed some light on the situation. I have a document with a sample family with 2 adaptive points (Placement points) and 3 reference points, but I need extra permission to upload it. When we try to access the information of an ada…

Updated your trust level so you should be able to post. If not try resetting your browser, and if still not you can use another tool like Onedrive, Box, GoogleDrive, Dropbox, WeTransfer, etc.. When I have needed layer info like this I usually have turned to the massing or adaptive environment which…

Thank you! Attaching here the documents for those who want to give it a try. AdaptiveFamilySample_ReferencePoints_R23.rvt (1.3 MB) RVT_Extract-ref-points_Sample.dyn (26.7 KB) I also tried placing the families within another adaptive family document, and the behavior was the same, the Reference po…

[image] erika.glitch: Reference points won’t be accessible unless using the Geometry approach. Yeah - I would expect that. My thought was to place the points in the new family relative to the nested component.

[image] Adaptive Reference points Revit hi @Jin You can select and manipulate both Adaptive Points and ShapeHandle Points using the BriMohareb package in Dynamo for Revit. [image] [image] For reference points within a family, you can retrieve all available reference …
