Hello everyone,
My name is Mario Bandini; I teach revit to architects and engineers, who increasingly ask for information on the possibility of creating abachi of length of adaptive brushes inserted on conceptual masses. I finally found at this link (http://therevitcomplex.blogspot.com/2013/06/report-length-of-any-curve-including.html) a brilliant method of solving the "non-reportability" of the length parameter. As long as the adaptive family is defined according to the criteria specified by the tutorial, it actually returns a length value (the one that calls "lenght_01") real, which then updates to moving the adaptive points. at the moment when this family is applied to a conceptual mass, the parameter "lenght_01" returns identical values for all families, therefore once the mass is loaded into the real project, the abbot highlights all the same brushes even if they are obviously not.
I attach some photos to better clarify the concept:
1 - the adaptive parametric family works by returning the correct length value
2/3 - within the conceptual mass is seen as selecting two components of evident different length the value is the same
4 - within the project the abacus consequently writes identical values for all adaptive components
the tutorial I attached the link is dated 2013, so I do not exclude that there are better and faster methods to solve the problem.
Thank you.
