Using dynamo to divide parts in more than one plane

s193801T3FQ5 — Tue, 08 Mar 2022 14:00:45 GMT

The following is a sample containing simple walls and floors. The blue cuboid is a Mass I wish to use to "cut up" the Walls and Floors that intersect the edges of the Mass, i.e. determine the volume of the elements contained within the Mass.

As can be seen in the picture, it works when dividing along the vertical planes. However, for it to work perfectly, one more division would have to be created parallel to the two horizontal planes of the Mass.

I have attached the Dynamo graph I used to accomplish this result.

I suspect that my final goal is not doable within Dynamo due to lack of workplane controls. Would this be possible using the API?

I can gladly look at it but you do need to know this is the wrong forum...Would you like it to be moved to API or would you like to continue the conversation here?

API Forum is on this link >>> https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-api-forum/bd-p/160 (Admins can move it here)

Dynamo Forum is on this link >>> https://forum.dynamobim.com/ (You will need to report question there)

My apologies, I will report the question in the Dynamo forum myself.

Hello again,

I have created a thread in the API forums now:
