In the neverending quest to help automate some boring stuff, I'm hoping to make a dynamo script to do the following:
- take the system parameter of "Area" of certain Detail Item Filled Regions (which exists, but cannot be scheduled)
- copy the parameter into my own "Filled Region - Area" parameter
The reason is that I'd like to automate the calculation of Exposing Building Face calculations - wherein you tabulate the area of a facade next to a property line, tabulate the area of the unprotected openings, and report the latter as a percentage of the former. It's easy enough to give the filled region a name or parameter so that my schedule is sorted according to building facade and area type (see attached image), but I currently have to copy the areas by hand. Imaginit has a "Parameter Copy" tool as part of one of their suites, but with Dynamo being integrated into Revit now I'm hoping to save the cost of getting such a tool for a 20+ person firm.
Anyone have any tips on how I could do something like this with Dynamo?
