How to change the direction of family placement when using the FamilyInstance.ByFace node?

Hi everyone,

    I tried placing my bolt family on the tunnel segment via the FamilyInstance.ByFace node in dynamo, however, no matter how I changed the referencedirection parameter provided, the orientation of the family placement did not change.

below is a schematic of the resulting bolt family in the wrong direction

And below is the direction in which the bolt family should have been placed

Do you know how to get the bolt family to be placed in the correct direction

 

thanks

This forum is dedicated to the Revit API itself.

 

I am not aware of the Dynamo node that you are using or its internal workings.

 

I would suggest discussing that issue in the Dynamo forum:

  

https://forum.dynamobim.com

  

In addition, you can extract the relevant source code and Revit API method calls for the FamilyInstance manipulations performed by the node and share them here. Then, we might be able to understand and shed some light.
