Hello, I’m trying to use dynamo to set my work plane in a 3D view based off of a piece of conduit. The idea is to be able to select a piece of conduit, and have dynamo create/select of orthogonal work plane to it that I… --- ## [Automatic Dimensions of Beam System in an inclined Reference Plane](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/automatic-dimensions-of-beam-system-in-an-inclined-reference-plane/95517)

Hi all, Is there a way with Dynamo to set the workplane/ host of an element in the family editor. I need to host certain nested components to reference lines because they are driven by angle parameters. The problem is w… --- ## [Hide view work plane via Python](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/hide-view-work-plane-via-python/73740)
