Is it possible to reference Void geometry from Revit into Grasshopper from a Model In-place Component?
Sort of…
Here is a Wall with a model in-place void and solid geometry. The Element Dependents component references the in-place but Element Geometry only gets the solid.
Hope that help., I’ll dig a bit more on getting the Void geometry if that is the intent.
Host Inserts also returns the cutting elements.
Thank you @Japhy, good to know. Didn’t know those components existed, thank you. This particular exercise is using a Component >> Model in-Place to generate the geometry as a floor category that then gets cut by voids. I’m recreating that deck geometry with a script and was hoping to keep using those voids the team is using to cut the deck but I’m finding out that neither GhH nor Dyn work in the Model In-place environment. So I cant really have access to those voids geometry. When I input the deck as the Graphical Element, it just gives me that cut geometry with no Host inserts – It reads it as a Revit Component rather than a host. I’ll keep messing to see if there’s a way around it to reference or at least get that bottom face outline geometry of the voids embedded in that model in place component. Thank you for your help.
Model In-Place in the Revit API doesn’t offer a lot of options. There are more options when dealing with Revit Families.
