Thanks Lawrence excelent video , the coordinates in a project is one of most important infomation and can to use, this information is esential in any project
Hi Lawrence, it would be extremely helpful to have a work-around for Revit 2020 not having a ByCoordinateSystem option. Thanks so much for this. This will help my workflow big time on my next project!
What would be the best way to adapt this for use with an excel file? I followed you video a few years ago on the subject but could never quite get it to work with a real world project.
Hi Lawrence. I love your tutorials, very easy to follow for a Noob. Are you able to elaborate on placing multiple families from an Excel list? Your other video "Modelling Piling from Excel using Revit and Dynamo" shows the importing and list creation which works but I cannot figure out where to feed in the list into this script. I would have thought it would feed in to the subtract node, but it returns Null values.
Hi, glad that you are enjoying the content! You would read the data from excel which will then be stored in a list. The family instance will then be placed as many times as your indexes in the list.
@@RevitStructureBlog Hi Lawrence, I got it to work. I had an issue in my Excel data (the last place I looked). There where spaces after my number values. Another lesson learnt. Thanks for you help.
hi Lawrence, beautifully expalained. However for me the script doesnt work( build 2021.1). what may be the issue? I have used all nodes as illustrated and all nodes are working too without error. I am trying to place the families in a site plan for which the true north concides with project north.
I have used Revit 2023, the build of Dynamo is 2.13.1. However, this script should work with the last few releases of Revit, none of the nodes I have used are new.
@@RevitStructureBlog Great tutorial, thank you so much. I think the issue is right at the end for the earlier versions - 2020 doesn't have family instance by coordinate system, I don't have 2021 installed so I wonder if this is the issue Chan had. 2022 is fine.
@@robertklaschka2668 Thanks Robert, you are correct. I should have switched the calculation. I don't have 2020 installed anymore so that's good to know as well

This is exactly what I needed!
You could get the coordinate.System origin, insert the family by point and then rotate the family instance using set rotation
Thank you very much for the job well done

glad you got it working. Always a good learning curve.@@Mike_Sanderson

hard to tell without seeing the script.
Hi Lawrence, pls advise which version of Dynamo you used in this tutorial, thank you in advanced.😃

@@RevitStructureBlog noted with thanks

By the way I think the reason you had to rotate by 180 degrees is that you need to switch the values going into the subtraction around.
