Geometry

For analytical modeling with Dynamo, use the Geometry nodes to understand and transform a linear analytical element.

FilterElements.GetPointsFromAnalyticalElement Returns a list of points of the analytical element
Library		Dynamo4AM → Utilities → FilterElements
Input	obj	The object containing the analytical element or the analytical element itself to retrieve the points for.
Output	points	Points retrieved from the analytical element.
Remarks		If the object has no analytical elements or is not an analytical element itself, null is returned. In the case of linear analytical elements, start and end points are retrieved. In the case of analytical floors or walls, vertices are retrieved.
FilterElements.GetCurveFromAnalyticalElement Transforms the linear analytical element into a curve
Library		Dynamo4AM → Utilities → FilterElements
Input	obj	Object containing the linear analytical element or the analytical element itself to transform into a curve.
Output	curve	A curve transformed from the linear analytical element.
Remarks		If the object has no analytical elements or is not an analytical element itself, null is returned. In the case of planar elements, null is returned. See also: FilterElements.IsLinearElement
FilterElements.GetSurfaceFromAnalyticalElement Transforms the linear analytical element into a curve
Library		Dynamo4AM → Utilities → FilterElements
Input	obj	Transforms the planar analytical element into surface and, alternatively, external edges.
	includeBoundaries	Whether the output should contain external edges or surface only.
Output	output	A surface and, alternatively, edge curves transformed from the planar analytical element.
Remarks		If the object has no analytical elements or is not an analytical element itself, null is returned. In the case of linear elements, null is returned. See also: FilterElements.IsPlanarElement
