Reading Superstruture Parameter with SOFiSTiK Bridge + Infrastructure Modeler nodes

Revit

Hello,

I am working on a dynamo script that reads parameters from an axis and superstructure of a bridge created with SOFiSTiK Bridge + Infrastructure Modeler. I am working with Revit 2023 and the new SOFiSTiK Bridge + Infrastructure Modeler nodes provided by SOFiSTiK. The script works as far as I get the required parameter names and values.
Unfortunately, the parameter values I get in the script are not the same values I entered during modelling.

Does anyone have any idea why the values differ?

As I am a new user, I cannot upload any files.

Hi! @sbormuth

Maybe it is a units problem. Try to convert data with Dynamo’s convert units node.

Hi,
Without an screenshot or detailed explanation it is hard to understand what is actually happening. What exactly are you trying to reed and why the values are not correct ?
It sounds like a problem with units but on my side it looks well (see pics).

Thank you for your replies.
I will invasitgate the units and update if that was the problem.
Until then here are screenshots of the script. With the axis I get the same result as @msl but with the superstructure the results are incorrect.

Converting the units worked.

Again thank you for your input!

@sbormuth You are rigth, the Units for ComponentParameters are only working correctly when you assign an Expression or a reference to an Axis, but they are currently wrong in case of constant values. It should be fixed for next release.
