    Hi Gavin. Nice script. it works with me but i put some modifying to work with a linked mep file and everything is fine only if i select a single wall but when i change the selection to select all walls in a level for example, it creates all the openings in one wall only. i hope you can help

    • @AussieBIMGuru
      @AussieBIMGuru  4 місяці тому

      Yes unfortunately to do many walls > many openings in each it would require a lot more work and list level management to achieve this. You'd need to begin working at levels from the moment that you check wall rotations and also split out your elements by wall, probably using intersections to filter them down.

  • @bengarcia2065

    • @AussieBIMGuru
      @AussieBIMGuru  4 роки тому

      A lot of list management, as well as a fair bit of waiting time!
      You'd need to collect all walls with structural opening elements from the architectural model, then collect their equivalent structural wall. From here it would be like my workflow, but working at sublists of openings per wall, to create sublists of new openings in the live walls.

    Really Good And Useful Script.
    Wanted to know if you can achieve this, when the host element in the linked Model is a linked Model as well, or in a case where the linked element is orphaned or not associated?
    (the linked element used is a Generic model face based family)
    Thanks

    • @AussieBIMGuru
      @AussieBIMGuru  3 роки тому

      Unfortunately you can typically only cut live openings from live elements to my understanding. You can face host elements however, but not sure how useful this would be given doors, windows, openings etc tend to be opening based.

    Great script!!! I’m new in the Dynamo business and I’m trying to do something like this script, but with curtain walls. So, I can’t place de wall opening family on the curtain walls, cutting grid lines. Is there any way of make the voids editing the walls profiles?

    • @AussieBIMGuru
      @AussieBIMGuru  3 роки тому

      Unfortunately post editing of wall sketches isn't easily possible. You can technically create new walls with a profile as part of this step using Python - check out my recent video on walls following topography for reference. Curtain walls are fiendishly complex in Dynamo, especially when it comes to introducing grids and swapping specific panels. I'd suggest taking it slow given you're new and working your way through simpler tasks to begin with.

    • @AussieBIMGuru
      @AussieBIMGuru  4 роки тому

      Unfortunately it isn't possible to cut holes out of floors internally due to Revit API limitations. Assuming your floors are in the same model as the architectural floors you can join them and turn them off to void the floors though.
      If it's in a separate model the only way to cut floors internally is using floor/face based openings for now unfortunately, then creating a second floor within the opening. The springs package has nodes for creating openings by face.

    Love the videos man!! I am pretty new to dynamo, and you have helped me so much to get into it! Quick question for you or anyone who can help, the set parameters by name node is being goofy for me. It'll work in revit file fine, but not another. My family gets placed, but with the default parameters, any fixes to this?

    • @AussieBIMGuru
      @AussieBIMGuru  Рік тому

      Hrm strange, not familiar with this happening myself. Maybe cross check the lacing is longest and all elements are being updated?

    • @HypnoticHamlet
      @HypnoticHamlet Рік тому

      @AussieBIMGuru not sure what's causing it, but it's only in from one file that I've tested out that does this. Every other file seems to be fine so far, i checked and do have the get parameter node set to longest lacing. And all the parameters are collected im the lists before setting. Just wont set the correct width in that file🤷‍♂️

    • @AussieBIMGuru
      @AussieBIMGuru  Рік тому

      My best guess is the width might cause an error so it gets skipped or something is constraining it. Unless dynamo returns an error its likely something revit side.

    • @HypnoticHamlet
      @HypnoticHamlet Рік тому

      @AussieBIMGuru Yeah, no errors, just one arch model i linked in won't work. But i agree, i think it's a revit issue with certain family types. I appreciate the replies! I am the only one in my company willing to jump into dynamo, and your videos have been so helpful! Thank you!

    A really useful script, thank you! Is there a way to adapt this script to deal with elements in linked models that don't create openings all the way through the live model elements? For example, if we had structural beams or columns in the linked model that are partially (or wholly) embedded within architectural walls or floors in the live model it would be useful to have voids cut into the wall elements to accommodate the structure.

    • @AussieBIMGuru
      @AussieBIMGuru  3 роки тому

      In this instance I would suggest splitting the walls as this is a better representation of the built condition. A similar-ish logic could be used however if you used geometry intersections and bounding box analysis'. Quite complex I would say versus modelling as intended.

      2. Get the following parameters;
      - Base level name
      - Top level name
      - Base level offset
      - Top level offset
      3. Match the level names from linked to native
      4. Create walls at the same locations
      5. Set the wall's parameters to those taken/matched from the linked model
      This should work I think, see how you go.

Is this possible?

    • @AussieBIMGuru

      Yes and no. You can obtain linked elements in dynamo instead and still use a similar method (using Bimorph nodes), however cutting linked elements is not possible i think so a loose family is better to communicate with your engineer where they need to add penetrations in the structural model. Usually best practice anyway as penos can often comprimise reinforcement integrity of a wall if not reviewed by the structural engineer.
