Extracting the Structural Pile Coordinates Using Dynamo in 2024

Hello there. I trust you are all well and I wish you a Happy New Year!

Five years ago, I wrote a blog entitled “Exporting Pile Coordinate from Survey Point instead of Project Base Point” which you can find by clicking HERE and I wrote a follow-up blog entitled “Pile Cut-off Level using Dynamo” which you can find by clicking HERE. I felt it was time to write an update relating to these posts.

I know it’s been a while since I wrote something on my blog and I hope to be proactive once again and share with you everything that I might discover in my day-to-day work. In this comeback post, I’ll share with you how you can extract the structural pile coordinates using Dynamo, and this time, the script will not be as messy as before. The script is also playable in Dynamo Player

Pile Extract Coordinates via Dynamo V1 required inputs

Within your company, I believe you have built an in-house tool to do this or perhaps you have a third-party Revit plugin (paid or unpaid) that will give you the coordinates, but what if, for some reason, those tools ended up buggy and, when you come to need it badly, failed to work. This is where Dynamo can be handy.

This is what the script looks like:

Revit Dynamo PowerBI Workflow Video Recording – Part 2

Hello there. It’s me again, Allan Cantos. I trust you are well.

You have seen in my previous post the video recording that I did when I was preparing for my presentation for the 2018 BiLT Conference. I hope you don’t mind the accent (hahaha) but rather look at what you can get from that video recording.

If you missed watching that first part, I highly recommend that you go back to that video first before continuing watching this part 2 to get a better understanding of what happened in the first part.

Here is the link for the first part:

And here is the Part 2 recording:

As a correction, the video recording mentioned about using the latest Dynamo version installed in your machine if you have 2 or 3 versions installed. Actually, I have not tested this in Dynamo 2.x versions yet so it may or may not work. I suggest using Dynamo 1.x versions.

If you need a hard copy of this tutorial, you can download it from the links provided below. I hope you’ll support me in funding the expenses of running this website. It’s my personal online library and it will be yours too.
