sedas blog for project submissions of arch 653 & arch 655 courses by prof. dr. wei yan at texas a&m university in final project i worked on the same model as my project 1 - two in one house. (for details of the project please refer to previous post.) i started with a simplified version of mas* model, uploaded to revit project. then i as*ociated mas* with dynamo and created the walls by using wall.byface built-in node (to obtain this node i needed an update in dynamo). for generating the roof, i used same node, but this time i selected the roof planes from mas*. in the next step, i chose mas* family by family types node, and by using get family parameter, i defined the parameters one by one. i used several methods and combination of nodes for this process; however none of them gave the solution. my approaches are below: by using categories and allelementsof category, i selected walls. the output of this node is expected to be walls, but in this case it was i used place.elements.inwalls from the same named package, and place.window.doors.inwalls from the same named package. both nodes first, i selected the face on which the window will be hosted. i found the vertices and by picking and translating one of the corner points i generated the corner points of the window. i used hostedinstance.bypoints node by springs package. but this node gave i used hostedinstance.bypoints node by springs in another combination. first, i selected categories of walls. when categories node was plugged into all elements of category, it again gave facewalls. also, both element.getlocation node and element.location+ by clockwork before this method i have tried other methods and several nodes.. method 1 (from scratch  in dynamo by generating & translating points) i started to model my mas* in dynamo from scratch by using points. i created the origin (0,0,0) point and by translating it and adding by using number sliders and vectors, i defined the parameters as translation in x and y axes.
