I am using Revit Structure and need the footings to pull the “Column location mark” parameter from the column elements. In Revit a column will know it’s “column location mark” based on the grids that are intersecting. However the footings do not do this. I was hoping Dynamo could somehow look at th…

Hello Bill! This graph is made to work for any element with a point location. It calculates the distance from the nearest grid if it’s not in a grid intersection (just like the column location mark) [image] [image]

Hi Bill, Is your footings placed below columns? One of the possible ways to extract column location is to use “Element.Location” from clockwork package. I am not sure if i understand you properly possible for any screenshots? [image]

This is an interesting question. Structural Columns have a property called “Column Location Mark”. Structural Isolated Foundations do not have this property. So, I think what Bill_Wright is trying to do is get that same property to Foundations. The actual grid location for a specific footing locati…

@Bill_Wright @Tom_Kunsman In that case one of the possible way is to go for Geometry approach.Create Parameter called “Footing Location Mark”. Extract geometry for footings and for grids curves->Geometry.DoesIntersects->Filter.BoolMask grids which intersects with footings. Below is the process in ac…

thank you all for the help I very much appreciate it. I have tried reproducing Einar’s workspace but have no luck with a few areas. check the image. [image]

Right click on the - (minus) node and choose longest lacing. I would be easier if you showed us the warning messages. Edit: Here’s the file: founationLocationMark.dyn (32.7 KB)

@Einar_Raknes Looks like @Bill_Wright is having issue in clockwork package. It doesn’t read the values. @Bill_Wright are you getting “null” or “Empty List” when you connect to “Element.Location” node? Can you show us the values of “Element.Location”?

Bill you can replace “Element.Location” with “StructuralFramingLocation” or “Family.InstanceLocation”. Good Luck!

I ran the workspace on a new file I created and received no warnings however the footings appear as shown. [image]

As I mentioned earlier: Mind the lacing: [image] You can read about lacing here: http://dynamoprimer.com/06_Designing-with-Lists/6-1_whats-a-list.html This should be “==” [image]
