This node takes a list of Revit points (feet, XYZ format), unpacks the Z values, converts to mm, and then filters an input list by a given benchmark value.
So, if you know that 90% of your Grids are set correctly with a -300mm lower Grid Z extent, place -300 in the input benchmark value, and you will get a list of ‘not matching’ elements. This allows quick checking of Grid extents that may be inconsistent.
This node takes a point list from the Revit API (feet, XYZ), and creates actual Dynamo point objects. It allows you to input a scale. To convert to mm, put in 304.8 for the scale.
This node unpacks point information obtained via the Revit API, which is usually delivered in feet units, XYZ format.
You may need to set Lacing to Longest.
This node uses Python and the Revit API to extract the outline object from each Grid element, and then get the minimum and maximum points from those outline objects. These points are delivered in Revit API format: units are feet, comma separated XYZ.
This is a packaged version of Ezra’s Python script provided on the forum. It simply gets basic Room parameter values (Name, Area) and outputs to a given XML file. Provide full path including extension on the input node. Future version may need alternate unit comprehension.
Takes a list of Revit elements and sets a specific parameter value to the given parameter name for each element.
Some family placement nodes consume previously placed families if run with List.Map. This node was adapted from Clockwork, and it just wraps a ‘Family by Point’ command to ensure that each list of points is processed in a separate placement transaction in Revit.
