Get Element Location - How to determine elements location

Anonymous

Hi everyone, I want to ask a question about the specifics of my element location (EL) point.

 

I created an adaptive family (5-6 adaptive points) and while creating it I deleted the old origin planes (front back right left) as I did not need them and were just bothering me. After creating the family I tried to get location inside Dynamo and the elements location was in a very odd spot. I redraw the 2 planes (front-back and right-left) on the 1st adaptive point and I raised the main level of family up to 1st adaptive point.

 

Is there a way to relinquish old FrontBack and LeftRight planes, maybe that was the problem? OR is there any other way to determine elements location somewhere on the element.  

How does a Revit determine EL? After getting it in Dynamo after redrawing the 2 planes, it was moved a bit but still in an unusual space (pics related)

Not sure how it is in dynamo, but in Appie,

1) revit take localization in feet

2) where is a base point, if you import something to revit it can make localization from basePoint

 

did you try creating family before removing planes?
