Space number to duct network concatenate
Revit has a built in function that can let you know in which space an air terminal is located. Rhythm has a great node: ‘Element.Space’ for this. Unfortunately most other elements that you’d like associated with a space don’t have access to this space information. The node ‘Space number to network concatenate’ can assign the air terminal’s space number to every upstream element in the connected duct network. While traversing it will concatenate every space number into the parameter with a comma.
The node will stop traversing once it can no longer find an opposing flow direction, encounters a different system classification, encounters an element it has already encountered (and thus has entered some kind of loop) or there is nothing connected to the current element.
Inputs:
- Air terminal: the starting air terminals from where the traversal into the duct network will start.
- ParameterName: the parameter of the elements in the duct network to which the space numbers will be written to.
- Category: only elements of these categories will have their parameter written to. Supports multiple categories.
- SizeLimitFactor: an optional input that controls how far into the network the parameters will be written. The node will stop when the element’s size in the network is ‘factor’ times as big as the starting size. The default is set to 20.
Output:
- The input elements are returned unless the air terminal is not located in a space, in which case a string indicating no space is found is returned.
The node can be found in the MEPover package version 2017.2.13 and up.

Get Linked Elements in Host View(s)
I have just added two nodes to the Data-Shapes package:
- GetLinkedElements.ByHostView
- GetLinkedElements.ByHostViewAndCategory
The names of the nodes are pretty explicit: they gather elements in linked documents visible in a host view.
GetLinkedElements.ByHostView uses the visibility settings of the host view when collecting the linked elements, whereas GetLinkedElements.ByHostViewAndCategory allows you to set the categories you’re interested in collecting.
Both nodes can be found in Data-Shapes Package (version 2017.02.20).

Geometry.SplitRecursively
Performing recursive actions with nodes is never easy. You usually have to resort to some form of a script. The below case is a good example of this. It uses Dynamo’s DesignScript language to recursively cut the resulting geometry over and over, until the list of cutting tools is exhausted. For a successful result, the cutting tools have to be sorted in the order of which the geometry should be cut.
Inputs:
- geometry: the solid or surface you’re trying to split
- tools: the objects you’re trying to cut your geometry with, for example a list of planes or surfaces.
- pickPoint: a point that is near the end of the cut tools and controls the direction of the cut.
