Hi there, I’m looking for a routine/node that’s able list objects that a spline passes through from start to finish. I’ve seen some methods on here where the use of bounding boxes of families are list mapped against points along a spline, but if you large number of families you need a lot of points…

[image] Yna_Db: you use a series of lines, and then join them with Polycurve.ByJoinedCurves or use Curve.StartPoint, you will get much less points and they will be placed where they have to be in the correct order… This might be the solution, thanks I’ll give it a try.

try extrude curve or translate curve in z direction

Nico, I’ve tried what you said and It doesn’t work. I don’t see how this would work since the spline actually intersect the family in question anyway. Regards

BoundingBox.Intersects would probably work in this case: [image]

Yna_Db, That works great. How would I then order the categories in the sequence with the start and end point of spline? Regards

Could you be more specific? What do you mean by “order the categories in the sequence”?

Yna_Db Basically I have a spline that crosses through the family instances and I want to order the families in the direction the spline is going, from start point of the spline to end of the spline as I’ve drawn it. See below. [image]

See here: [image] Renumbering Piles with spline model line Packages Hello, I recently watched a great tutorial on how to renumber rooms by spline model line in Dynamo, ( http://www.case-inc.com/node/497.html ). After watching the tutorial i wondered if this could be done wit…

[image] Yna_Db: ( http://www.case-inc.com/node/497.html ). Yna_DB I have a similar code, but the problem is when you have huge amount of piles you need a huge amount of points to be produced and hence Dynamo crashing. I’m trying to get away from producing points on splines. Regards

Unfortunately, I can’t find any other solution with a spline. But if you use a series of lines, and then join them with Polycurve.ByJoinedCurves or use Curve.StartPoint, you will get much less points and they will be placed where they have to be in the correct order…

when you get a reproducible crash please post it to the github with files needed to reproduce - then we can fix it or use it as a performance case.
