Unable to create solid between two topographies

Revit
1

Greetings everyone !
I’m trying to create a solid between two topographies like shown in in the screnshot below

I’ve created 2 polysurfaces frome the topographies by converting them to mesh using the spring nodes Mesh.ToPolySurface node . After that i’ve extruded the perimeter curve of thebottom mesh like sown below

Ive joined the extruded surfaces to a polysurface using the PolySurface.ByJoinedSurfaces node so now i have 3 polysurfaces . bottom one top one and the perimeter polysurface . Its all going as planned. But when i want to create a sold from the 3 polysurfaces i go using the Solid.ByJoinedSurfaces node i get the error " Surfaces could not be joined into a closed solid, even with refinement" Did i do something wrong ?

Here is my script

Thank you in advance !

Try merging into one polysurface, and give this node a try: Dynamo Dictionary

I was thinking of DynamoMesh vs RevitMesh being the culprit, but maybe that is solved by now?

Thank you for your time good sir !
I merged the 3 polysurfcaes ( Top , bottom and lateral ) to form a new polysurface i than unsed the polySurface.ExtractSolids node as instructed but i got an empty list as a result ! as shown below

@Marcel_Rijsmus
The mesh is successfully converted to a polysurface so i don’t think thats the issue i tried converting it to a tkmesh using spring nodes package but in vain !

Have you tried creating a solid with the perimeter curves of your poly surface pulled onto a plane and then slicing the solid afterwards with your poly surfaces?

It may be that there is a gap in one of the topographies. Try sending a smaller section and see if you can get a closure.

Hi,

So, from memory, the method that worked best for me…

Get all the points, make a floor, add all the points to the floor, extract the solid…

The method doesn’t rely on geometric operations which can fail, the floor will always contain a solid.

Here is an example…

Hope that helps,

Mark

Hi !
Which package contains the Floor.Slabshapesbypoints node please

I think it’s in clockwork and unfortunately Dynamo’s text search isn’t returning ‘floor’ in it for some reason, but if you put in ‘Slab’ you’ll see it…

Hope that helps,

Mark

Hello everyone so i managed to find the solution and here is how
After getting the polysurfaces of my 2 topographies i extruded the merimeter curves of my bottom topo as solid using the curve.ExtrudeAsSolid node than i split the solid with the top topography polysurface

Every reply was a big help ! Thanks to @Mark.Ackerley @Marcel_Rijsmus @jacob.small and @bayowindapo for your precious guidance ! i cant mark everybody’s reply as solution so am marking this one !
Peace !
