Dynamo locating element in space. Parameter transfer.

[GA-LT]

Dear Factory,

On demand of our client we need to work with Zones and Spaces instead of Rooms (which have no such useful tool like Zones – why?). To make schedules we need to transfer some parameters like numbers of space (room) that windows belong to.  We use dynamo srcript:

We have built windows on your metric-english template and the magic starts:

Summarize: if the window is in the correct position revit and dynamo do not recognize that it belongs to this space! Is this windows template wrong? To redefine all windows in the project will be time disaster ;-(

Is there any other why to get this data from space and transfer to windows?

My understanding of the Rhythm node you're using is that the facing of the window (in/out) affects the space association.

Try reviewing this thread for a workflow that supports your goals. C.Poupin's solution of using the space boundary to create geometry to clash check against the windows should get you there.

Not knowing the context of your client's request, from a general standpoint Rooms are elements used to contain architectural/interior finish information, whereas Spaces are elements used to contain MEP information. It is a little odd to be pushing Space data into Windows, unless this is intended for some sort of energy modelling workflow.

Do you know any way to get Room Number from the linked model?

You need to have the linked model set to room bounding. Then you can add the To Room: Name, To Room: Number, From Room: Name, From Room: Number parameters in a schedule. You can also specify Room Calculation Points for your window families. Spaces can pull the names of the linked rooms using the space naming tool.
