'Reset Shape' of Multiple Floors

[andrewUPUSW]

Hi,

I'm looking to 'Reset Shape' of multiple floors at once. The tool in question can be found in the 'Modify I Floors' tab when a single floor is selected. However, when multiple floors are selected this tool is not present, 

Is there a way to reset all the elevations of the element points without selecting each floor one by one? I essentially want to turn a site plan (created with Floors) with varying spot heights into a completely flat plan from a 3D perspective

Hi @andrewUPUSW,

there's a Clockwork Node in Dynamo. Takes only a couple of seconds:

Very intriguing question.

So, you have multiple floors in your Project that are shape-edited (one at a time) using Modify Sub-Elements tools, and now you want to select ALL of them and press Reset Profile?  Basically, you want to undo all the work you've done to each one of them in one fell swoop?   And, resetting each floor's profile one at a time would take too long because there are so many?  

There's got to be more to this story.   Why are you doing this?  

[andrewUPUSW]

It does seem like an odd action without context. In short, I want to flatten all the floors in order to export my model to 2D CAD, so that the profiles of the floors export as a single solid hatch, rather than multiple cut hatches in each individual floor (due to the Interior Edges caused by changes in profile). 

See below an example of the Interior Edges causing cuts in the floors (and ultimately the CAD hatches once exported)

Its a good thing you asked before doing this, because I have a feeling those slopes were all put in for a reason.

Go to V/G overrides or your view template -> Floors -> Uncheck Interior Edges

[andrewUPUSW]

Unfortunately, unchecking interior edges simply just removes their visibility from the view. They still technically exist in the model, even when exporting the sheet in question. So as a result, the exported hatches are still cut in accordance with the hidden interior edges.

I'll explore Dynamo for a solution, as per @se.ha 's suggestion

Is this a duplicated model or are you about to undo a bunch of someone else's work?

[andrewUPUSW]

No no, it's a copy of my own model, so no work will be undone.

se.ha had the solution with Dynamo.

Thanks to both for your help,

Oh good. Reset away then.
