Site Location through Share Co-ordinates

1

Hello, I am trying to figure out a script for 100 site in a model through linking and naming shared site specifically. Now I want same co-ordinates to be exported from this and import it back in another file.

I asked AI to help me out and got to know that GeniusLoci have that node but once I loaded the package couldn’t find the one. Below is the method directed by AI.

The GeniusLoci package is the most powerful package in the Dynamo ecosystem for handling Coordinates and Linked Models.

Detailed Steps:

  1. Open the Structure (STR) or MEP file: This is the empty file where you want to pull or extract the sites.

  2. Link the Architecture (ARC) file: Link the file that contains the 1000 sites. (Make sure you link it using Internal Origin to Internal Origin, as we previously agreed).

  3. Open Dynamo: Go to the top menu and click on Packages > Search for a Package.

  4. Install the Package: Search for GeniusLoci and install it.

  5. Locate the Nodes: Within this package, look in the Library panel on the left. You will find the required nodes under this path: GeniusLoci > Revit > Document > Project Location. Alternatively, you can just search for their names:

    • Node 1: Get SiteLocation You will connect this to a node representing the Linked ARC document so it can read the 1000 site names and their specific locations.

    • Node 2: Create SiteLocation (or Duplicate SiteLocation) You will take the data output from the first node and connect it here to push that data into your Current Document (which is the STR file).

Hi Kulsum, welcome :wave:

If you haven’t already, please read the forum’s FAQ How to get help on the Dynamo forums

There are many posts on getting site location and coordinates - only a search away

Based on your post you are working with a site with many linked files, say something like a housing development. Start with the file with all the links (site file?) and work with that

Have a go - use the Dynamo Primer to get an understanding of Dynamo, show us how you go

I think you are going about it backwards.

Create a master file with the correct shared coordinates, then link this into other models and acquire coordinates from the master.

Hello Mike,

I did searched alot on the forum, also tried some the script but nothing was working particulary with me.

In Master plan, I have linked the file and created Shared site for Architecture. Now, I have to do this with other discipline as well and i have around 400 villa to do so.

That is already created now I have pull these shared site co-ordinates to transfer in other file for specific villa.
