[Grasshopper] RevitFamilyInstance - Optional Host Input Needed #1328

Closed bimgeek closed 1 year ago

bimgeek commented 2 years ago

Expected Behaviour

Some components in Revit (such as doors, windows and wall/face/floor based components) expects a host for placement. Optional input for "Host" needed for this kinda components.

As discussed here👇: https://speckle.community/t/openings-voids-in-revitfloor-and-revitwall/3005/2

Current Behaviour

Currently there is no way to add components that needs a host.

Current Behaviour

Optional input for "Host".

bimgeek commented 2 years ago

it works the other way around. you put element into a host as part of its elements list. image

bimgeek commented 2 years ago

we discussed this w Alan and adding a host input would make sense for adding new host based components to existing objects in Revit. atm you can only add host based families if their host is also created via Grasshopper.

Agree, also, I believe we are not currently supporting all types of "hosted elements" properly! A useful exercise would be to check which ones we're missing.

This could also be a potentially related issue: https://github.com/specklesystems/speckle-sharp/issues/586
