Oh that's odd, maybe they made that a paid feature - a shame if so. I dont know a way around it as its an addin

Maybe compare to mine which can go down to 1 to see what might be different, you can find it here: github.com/aussieBIMguru/Revit-Files/blob/master/Families/ABG_210225_ParametricFence.zip

You're welcome!

Sure, try the views.setphase node in Crumple.

Generally if a nested component is not visible it will not schedule/report. If it''s registering then it must still be visible.

I've added a reference here: github.com/aussieBIMguru/Dynamo_Scripts/blob/master/ABG_240905_DSconitional.zip

It sounds like you need to assign more visibility parameters to ensure your array doesnt show when the panel count is 1.

@@AussieBIMGuru thanks i tried all day long but I couldn’t. I will try more

When i set Array count and Panel count to 1 from type properties, i could see 3 panels. I click on that 3 panels and saw theres no parameters attached to "Array count" .When i attached Panel count to "Array count" the problem has been solved.:)

@arincakkin sounds like a bit of a different setup to mine but glad it worked!

You're welcome!

Yes you could format the parameter if its a string, or divide the whole value and remainder into two parameters for each direction. Just some simple maths really, divide the size by the increment, round down/floor that and multiply by the increment to get the rounded size, and then use remainder/modulo node to find the remainder of that division.

I've just tested using Crumple 2024.4.3 (latest version) and it seems to work for me. The expected list structure is important to have right, that which a finishboundary nodes returns (list of lists of curves). If you google 'Aussie BIM Guru' github it will likely be the first page, I haven't tested many of my scripts in higher versions personally - not enough time to maintain them these days.

I generally upload most of my scripts to github although some earlier videos wont be there as I lost some files to corruption incidents before using github: github.com/aussieBIMguru

I'll keep it in mind for future videos!

Yeah its an old node now, try viewport.create from rhythm or crumple packages instead.

It will likely pertain to list length/structure. I've tested feeding in the finishboundary node output to a floor.create node and it's working on my side using Crumple 2024.4.3 version. If the list structure differs then the node wont work generally.

I already find it in 2021.9.24

Again i dont think crumple existed when i made this. Archilab and orchid have this node i think.

This means a family either has no types, or there is a family returning null before that step.

I believe this video actually used archilab as i hadnt made crumple at this point in time. My current version has nodes to collect sheets with a placeholder input, collect.sheets.

Do you mean model in place as a sweep? That's many extra steps if you want to make a system like this work at scale. It would work for maybe 1 or 2 units but once you have many they would all be disconnected as families from each other, bad practice if this happens.

Unfortunately I likely wont ever get back to basics of Revit, my role is much more focused on automation and computation which will likely be the channel's future direction. Check our BIMpure though which has some great resources on fundamentals!

Glad you like them!

If they havent shipped with revit it may be worth contacting csi direct to see if they can supply the source file.

The main difference is that you can customize default approaches I guess. Not all my videos are made to beat plugins but show how it is possible to develop tools that can be further adjusted to suit other needs.

Thanks!

Glad the channel helped! Yes this will be due to the link transforms, use this trick to account for it: ua-cam.com/video/6Di0kUX8mP8/v-deo.html

Yes i can image that helps, particularly from a list logic perspective.

Many of these challenges still hold very much true, although the more complex nature of the role and computation means some of the social aspects are more challenging whilst it’s easier to pursue more complex and well-paid opportunities as the role is more unique vs BIM management generally. I would say the main change is that I’m not sure that BIM alone = bright future anymore. The industry just sees it as something we do normally now, whereas computation lets you go well beyond BIM and software limitations. Early prevention is also the name of the game, developing tools and software means you must be well ahead of the curve and company status quo. Isolation is still a huge challenge, as even fewer people understand and appreciate computation (which includes most BIM ‘experts’ in my experience). Communicating clearly and articulating how you will add business value are very important to combat this, you need to try to be understood or approachable at least. The key to transitioning is to remember the core business service is architecture - software and process must improve and appreciate this at all times. Listen to the company carefully, but be clear with what you want and need of the firm similarly.

Yes for that I generally instead take the point in front of the door and use this RevitAPI method to work through all rooms in each linked model/phase. It's much more difficult but possible nonetheless: www.revitapidocs.com/2023/7dbcac93-ec82-5f60-4a54-a427f3e1cc1e.htm

@@AussieBIMGuru The issue is how to get this point , you can have it from the door location, but the hard thing how to make the Revit know which room is “ to room “ in the door?

@@ahmademad7192 so in that case your doors will need to be modelled in a consistent direction in the family editor. If you model your doors pointing different ways Revit has no way to understand that. Assuming all doors face a predictable direction, you get get the familyinstance rotation and push the location point outward a bit in that direction. In this case the to/from room system effectively do not get used anymore.

@@AussieBIMGuru Thank you for your explanation. I have another question: Can we use the room calculation point, and can it retrieve its (X, Y, Z) coordinates?

@@SMAITH-r5w this API method can retrieve them: www.revitapidocs.com/2023/21810873-d413-f6e4-ca33-d2ee4e93643e.htm

Hrm hard to say, Revit 2019 is very old now so I suspect the package is no longer tested there. Might need to take this one to the forums potentially.

@@AussieBIMGuru Thank you very much for the prompt reply. Appreciate the advice!

Ah, now I understand. L1 at input "element" is the counterpart to "Graft" in Grasshopper. Then we set L2 at "parameterName" to use the entire list and L2 at "value" to use the individual associated lists. The display below the lists is very helpful for this, showing which lists are on which levels (@L3 @L2 @L1). At first I didn't know whether L1 starts at the beginning or at the end of the data tree. A little different than in Grasshopper, because in Grasshopper you can change the list structure and make it compatible and inspect it before using it as input, but this is now understandable in Dynamo. Now it's fun to work with!

Yes graft and level 2 on 1 are quite similar. Personally i much prefer working with lists if im trying to align data, as much as i do like the path mapper component! Trees are very beneficial for geometry and speed, but lists are often easier to work through predictably. Trade offs.

Gotta keep Autodesk honest!

Haha got a good laugh out of me there!

Generally out of time for new videos currently unfortunately. The easiest method would be to use their boundingbox and run intersection checks between them I believe. Try dynamo forums if stuck as im sure its been asked there before also.

Not possible as far as I know, as the Dynamo app handles that part of the program. You can get a script to run the command tro launch dynamo player as an app, but not get the script you run into the button in pyrevit specifrically.

I havent actually looked into it myself, but it looks to be possible using this method: www.revitapidocs.com/2018/6d9a83ed-5aa9-c97f-3932-b74ecd30fa8f.htm

@@AussieBIMGuru Thak you ABG. Python is out of reach for me... I was trying to do something with AI to modify your script but since i dont really understand what i´m doing, i got nowere... if you get interested and find some time to look at this, please let me know. Thank you again!

@felipemeruane6637 unfortunately ive put most channel work on hold due to life admin and my career but maybe try dynamo forums.

Unfortunately I am still very basic with C# so no idea what that involves at this point, my package is 100% written in python for now. My package should generally work in dynamo 3 except for excel and interface nodes that pythonne6 supports, which dynamo team should hopefully fix by revit 2026.

It will depend on the job demands in your market and course prerequisites. Most firms generally expext degrees these days although contractors may be more flexible.

Check out genius loci package which contains python based nodes that deal with sublayers.

Try getting the view's sketch plane (clockwork/genius loci) can do this, convert to plane, and get the closest points on that plane instead using geometry.closestpoint. i think that should hopefully work.

Its in the genius loci custom package.

Check out the revit kids video on them, it is pretty thorough. I dont actually use them that often myself...

This warning commonly relates to rooms with messier boundaries, particularly if any edges are bound through almost being closed. Check which of the rooms cause the error and that might reveal a potential cause.

Glad you think so!

It generally should be as long as the data is structured and prepared before exporting to excel.

Unfortunately beyond my experience at that point, but have a try and use dynamo forums as an active help resource where you get stuck.

Glad you like them!

Generally not so much as youd need to work with material properties and incident raybouncing. For that I'd suggest looking into Honeybee and Ladybug tools for Grasshopper.

Glad to help!

Yes the Orchid package can do this and Crumple has some nodes needed to do this but honestly the best way is to write it in Python or C# using Revit API as it's a very custom/complex workflow to achieve in nodes alone.

You can in revit 2022 onwards.
