answered on the other topic where u originally came up with this question:

Pick new host rebar

comments to your script: U can only assign one host element to a rebar element the second for loop (the inner one) is not necessary as it only changes the hostelement to first one of ur input list and overwrites it with the next one. So every rebar would have the last Element in the list as HostElement u dont need to do list.append for setting a new host. This was only necesary in my example for storing the actual HostId’s in a list. For setting new Host element to multiple rebars I made thi…

so i guesst it should work like that if i have set of rebars and i wanna copy them to 2 different host elements?

rebarElement = UnwrapElement(IN[0])
hostElement = UnwrapElement(IN[1])

#for hostElement in hostElements:
for rebar in rebarElement:
	for host in hostElement:		
		rebar.SetHostId(doc, host.Id)
OUT = host

This will not work with SetHostId as it only changes the HostId and does not copy the RebarElement.

Copying Reinforcement to another HostElement is a much more complicated topic maybe u can find some answers here:

Copy rebar from one element to another

Hi, Is it possible to copy a group, with a known name ? I’m thinking about copying a group of rebar from one element to another. Any ideas ? Cheers, Dennis

sorry i already managed to copy the Rebars to the elements i just wanted to rest the HostElement(get the new host elements) let’s say i have a beam with rebars, and i wanna copy the bars to 3 or more beams at the same time
