Hello Community
I am currently struggling with a bit of a problem and need some help to solve it.
The outcome I am looking for is to convert rhino data into structural members and schedule them.
My problem is that I do not know how.
If this is not achievable I would like to pull data from rhino. The data that I am after would be the diameter of the circle and then the length of each extrusion.
Any help or direction is appreciated and thank you in advance.
I have attached an image of the geometry that I am trying to schedule.
Hi @Bobby_Harris1,
It would be a lot easier to help if you share the rhino file as well as showing what you’ve tried so far 
A workflow could be done using nodes from the rhynamo package, but it could also be set up as a live stream via grasshopper and speckle. Let us know what you are after.
Hi Martin,
Thank you for the reply.
I have simplified the geometry and attached the files.

I really have no idea where to start.
Again any help is appreciated.
So I have backed up to the start.
I have simplified the geometry that I am trying to import to just the base circles.
What I need help understanding now is how do I convert the rhino polycurves into revit curves or circles to which I can find the center point of?

So I am pretty happy with myself… I am moving in the right direction.

Hi @Bobby_Harris1,
Great stuff 
. I actually had a go with your 3dm last, but had some troubles getting geometry into dynamo. My comp died several times while trying to get the whole lot, but in the end I successfully got a single surface out. Don’t know if it’s because of the extends of the geometry it’s hard to convert, or because the geometry is not a proper brep - it’s definatly not too complex.
But I decided to install rhino to check out your file and see if I could get just the center point, radius and length of the pillars, and then send this data via speckle, but I didn’t get that far last night. I’ll try again when I get time
@Bobby_Harris1,
So I just tried to solve this via Speckle, since… well… it was fun 
And then, as I mentioned earlier, had some trouble getting the geometry through Rhynamo.
Spoiler alert: This will display extremely bad use of GH since im a total noob
So here goes:
I managed to extract the center line midt point and an edge curve, which i send through to Dynamo using Speckle:
I recieve the geometry in Dynamo, and extract the curve of the column as well as the radius and the height. This information i pass through to the adaptive family column I’ve used:
In Revit where you can schedule the elements (I would have showed this if I’d used shared params in the family, but I’m sure you’re aware of how to do this 
)
Edit: I edited the 3dm file a tiny bit, since it had some columns inside other columns:

Edit 2: Link to how to set up a stream using Speckle:

I am working on a new approach.
My new idea is to create polylines through points and bring that data into dynamo then convert that data into columns but I am not having any success.
Could someone please help.
Thank you in advance.
