Hi, 

Can i have implemented this Dynamo script in Revit API?

Hi,

first thought: no, you cannot.

There are supported intersections between Solids and Curves, Faces and Curves, Curves and Curves, Faces and Faces.

But no Solid-Face intersection.

Second thought: hey, you could workaround it.

Get the boundary curves of your face, do Solid-Curve intersections, collect the resulting curves.

Or get the faces of your solid, do Face-Face intersections, collect the resulting curves.

But how to get the area of these curves, as they could consist of several rings or describe a spherical surface...

Third idea: if Dynamo is open source, you could read the code, find the relating geometric function and try to call it from your own addin.

Dynamo IS open source, totally!

Not all of Dynamo parts are opensource. ProtoGeometry is one of them.

I have 2 geometry elements and i can't get intersection geometry please help

You can use the "DoesIntersect" from Dynamo's ProtoGeometry.dll.

Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry.Geometry.DoesIntersect(Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry.Geometry)

It does not work when you reference ProtoGeometry.dll outside Dynamo environment.
