Tunnel Ring Family (2-Point Adaptive)- How to add a Roation parameter ?

[Shahid.masood]

Dear Revit Users/Engineers/Experts ,

I have created this 2 point adaptive ring family For creating tunnel with Dynamo script which uses X,y,z cooprdinates . All seems fine here , but as per Site i have to Rotate each and every segment about it axis . I am gettting this data in form of roation of Key segments about ring centre. Manually it is possbible to rotate the rings one by one but there are 1000's of rings and it bceomes a tedious task, it can be done with dynamo but I am just unable to add rotation parameter to the adaptive ring family . I have tried all kinds of workarounds but not getting the desired result . 

Would appreciate your help or suggestion in this regards . Please see the attachments for your reference .

Thanks and regards

If willing to do in dynamo post your quires in dynamo forum. 

this is two point adaptive elements. then why you need rotation?

Was thinking about this the other day. You could nest a generic model family into the adaptive component family. The nested generic model family would have sweeps from profiles and you can then set the rotation angle of the profile forming the sweep and link this through to parameters in the host family.

How do you change direction though? To change direction you need bend segments with one side of the ring narrower than the other.

Mybe you have not understood my query .

I need rotation parameter to be added for giving key rotation of segments . And that is to be added in inside revit . So i am posting this query here . If a rotation parameter cannot be added into a 2-point adaptive family , then thats an issue .

this does not work . simple rotation command also not works on nested generic family into adaptive.  tried nesting a sweep profile too into the adaptive family . simply does not work . nesting and all can be done , my question still remains the same , how do i set a rotation parameter to the nested components ??

I am not even talking about the directions at all , the two point adaptve family will take care of it as its going to take input from x,y,z coordinates ....
