Room Elevations debugging

1

Hi All,

First of all I have had a look through the forum and I have found some things that have allowed me to get this far but it keeps crashing and I don’t why.

Also the other methods create one elevation marker for each wall. What I am trying to achieve is one elevation marker in the center of the room and then four elevations of each wall.

Can anyone see any problems with the code?

I have attached to Revit file to the Dropbox link below.

PS. It is late here in UK I will check this post again in morning.

hi @simon_murphy1, try this node from Quasar package.

Hi Jean,

Thanks I will try it but it looks like it will create one marker per wall which is not what I’m trying to achieve. Also I’d like to know what is wrong with my Python script.

Cheers, Si

For your info:

You need CurveLoop and GetCropRegionShapeManager.
Example:

eastShape = YourEastElevation.GetCropRegionShapeManager();
eastShape.SetCropShape(YourCurveLoop);
