Minor Issue with Column Locations #5

Closed thazell closed 7 years ago

thazell commented 7 years ago

Just putting this here as a log. Not a big issue: Column locations in Revit are not intuitive. They don't have appropriate "Z" vectors. The reason I mention this is that here's an example of the move change for columns. Note: Green is the column that moved, note how all the arrows are at the datum, even though all the columns that changed are at different elevations. image

So we are picking up the column z location from the level, but not including the level offset? is that what we're saying?

or is the Z-value coming from zero and we need to get both the level and the level offset?

The second option: The way I have handled column locations in the past is: first check to see if it's a vertical column, because sloped columns have a location curve, like a beam. Then X and Y from column location. Z from Level + Offset. (project location and survey location may give different Z - values.)

(fixed this in a recent version).
