Hello All, I thought it would be a simple task to use Wall.ByFace to place Revit walls at a dynamo surface, however it’s not working. The Wall.ByFace node doesn’t seem to like dynamo surfaces, and the RevitFace.FromDynamoSurface node from the clockwork package isn’t helping much either. If any of …

Hey, Apologies if I’m misinterpreting, but the blue surface in your image is more readily described as a roof? Was there a reason you weren’t using roof by extrusion? [image] Hope that helps, Mark

Hi Mark, That’s brilliant! This really helps a lot! I didn’t have the wombat package downloaded, but it looks like it has some great tools! The one thing it doesn’t do is allow me to select the path of the extrusion, which would be nice because my roof is sloped, and this only creates level roofs…

Not at a pc but try sloping the ref plane

It’s a nice thought, but it looks like the node doesn’t work with sloping reference planes [image]

Hmm… how about this method instead? [image]

I had actually come up with a similar solution to yours using the wall by face, and it’s working well for me. Of course, I would rather it be a roof, but the direct shape doesn’t quite do the trick. Direct shapes don’t allow me to modify the type structure of the roof, and I would prefer to use the …

It’s possible, just no one’s made a node for it… [image] It appears that there’s no info on what the command needs, but we could assume the inputs to the Wall.ByFace node are the same… I might have a look at it on Monday if I have time, otherwise an API guru like @Daniel_Woodcock1 could just do i…

In the API, from what I understand, there are 3 ways to make a roof… NewFootprintRoof, NewExtrusionRoof & DirectShape (I don’t really use roofs much in my field so happy to be corrected). I’m sure RoofByFace has been wished for a few times, but I can’t seem to find anything other than the postable c…

Hi Daniel, Happy to play with the other methods, but this does seem to be working for the OP, using the Postable Wall By Face and it appears relatively simple to adapt to Roof By Face to be the right category. There doesn’t appear to be anywhere which defines the inputs for the Postable Methods, c…
