I am trying to rotate an Adaptive Component. In the project view in Revit, I can select that element > modify > rotate and everything works fine. I want to do the same thing using Dynamo. I’ve tried using FamilyInstance.SetRotation and Geometry.Rotate, but those functions return an error (expected Family Instance or Geometry).
If your adaptive component has only on central placement point you could place another point on it and put a “Rotation parameter” on Rotation.
After this you can use “SetValuebyParameterName” on your Parameter and rotate the component.
Hi Fiesta, I have been trying to rotate my adaptive family which is built by two points inside the family editor, but Revit says “Can’t rotate geometry” each time I try. Could you please explain me step by step how do you place that point and have it rotate the whole family? and would it be doing the same job if my adaptive family has nested adaptive families? I would highly appreciate your help!
after that you can place Geometrie on the point.
You need too set the reference planes of the normal point visible for that and set the working plane.
You can also set the reference planes of the adaptiv point to not visible (easyer to work)
