What is Dynamo script to create a beam with known start point and end point?
I'm using Dynamo for Revit 2016. Could anyone share your knowledge of how to create a beam with a set of known start point (x1, y1, z1) and end point (x2, y2, z2)?

Hello Morning,
The following graph is one way to do it. If you have a list of data from Excel for example, you would simply import that data and manipulate your lists to get the correct points.
What you have to create, effectively, is lines within Dynamo. Beyond that you simply plug in a loaded Structural Framing family and a Level.

Is there a way to do the similar thing in Revit 2016 VB? I found an example but it was no longer workable as the following API was obsolete.

You can call the Revit API either through Python (Directly in Dynamo) or C# (Compiled into a .dll or through the custom C# Interpreter) yes. I'm not proficient enough with that yet to help much though I'm afraid.
Best of luck exploring it if you do and please do post your findings here!
