Create sections automatically on grids

We want to automatically create sections per grid line, so grid line A has it's own section, grid line B has it's own section etc... How can this be done (easily)? Mostly likely via a Dynamo script?

yes it should be possible in Dynamo, here's a quick workflow:

  • collect all the grids you need
  • retrieve their definition curve (bewared multi segment grids, extra steps are needed!)
  • get the start & end points of those curves.
  • create sections using those points.

Hi @m_steenhartABA4E 

 

Definitely possible and something I had already make a Dynamo graph for a long time ago.

Hit me up on the Dynamo forum via DM (@Ewan_Opie) or a post once you have tried a few things for yourself, as that is always the best way to learn in Dynamo.

There will be a couple of considerations in the user facing side within Revit as well.

Cheers,


Ewan
