Reverse PolyCurve(ByJoinedCurves) failed

Hi,

I am sorting some elements along a reference curve. I use PolyCurve.ByJoinedCurves to join curves from Revit elements to get the reference curve. Since the direction of the curve maters, I join both origin polycurve and a reversed polycurve for following steps in my script.

So, the script I wrote used to work well, See image 1.

But sometimes the PolyCurve.ByJoinedCurves failed with different input, default tolerance 0.001 used. See image 2.

With same input as image 2, I tried a larger tolerance, 1 (my Revit project units is mm), the curves joined, but the Curve.Reverse don’t work. Error message mentioned there is more than one WIRE in PolyCurve. See image 3.

I would like to know how to fix this or is there a better way to do such things?
Thank you.

depending on the order of input lists, and proximity of the underlying “points” and “lines”, these nodes may not process inputs as expected. A possible workaround, on your last image, try to get the points from the polycurve. reverse the list of points, and create the polycurve by points.

Hi @habdirad,

PolyCurve.ByJoinedCurves with tolerance, nodes after that PolyCurve went wrong every single time.

So I used your suggestion, problem solved. Thank you!
