Placing a line-based family instance to revit

[archimax (Max Malein)]

Hi everyone.

Is there a way to place a custom family instance to revit with rhino inside? I have a lot of facade rods with variable length that have to be placed in revit as “facade-rod” family instances. There seems to be components even for creating a new family type but I can’t find anything for placing an existing type.

Element Type Component will change an existing type.

the guide is really helpful…

Rhino.Inside®.Revit

The Length Parameter can be modified with Set Parameter Components.

Hi Rickson. But it will only change the type of the elements that already exist in revit. And what I need is to place new ones.

Add component by location. So not lined based but work plane based and your size should be a parameter.

Here i placed two types of unistrut on a sphere and set the length.
