Revit Dynamo script: Dual-Side Receptacle Placement for Revit MEP

Key Features:

Places receptacles on interior and exterior wall faces with customizable spacing.
Groups connected walls for continuous placement (0.5 ft tolerance, 10° angle).
Ensures NEC compliance (e.g., 12 ft max spacing, 6 ft from start).
Outputs log file with placement details and task dialog for results.
Supports wall-hosted receptacle families at 0.15 ft height.

Inputs Required:

Element Selection: Walls (single or list, via Revit or Dynamo node).
Naming Conventions: None.
Template Application: Receptacle family type (e.g., “Duplex Receptacle”).
Geometric Parameters: Start offset (default 6 ft), spacing (default 12 ft).
Randomization Controls: None.
Color and Material Settings: None.
Level or Height Information: None (fixed at 0.15 ft above floor).

Outputs Generated:

Receptacles placed in the Revit model on both wall faces.
Log file (NECReceptaclesDualSideLog_[timestamp].txt) with placement and error details.
Task dialog summarizing groups processed and receptacle count.
Dynamo output with group labels and placement counts.

Instructions:

Open Revit 2023–2025 with walls and receptacle family loaded.
Launch Dynamo 2.17+; ensure RevitAPI/RevitServices are available.
Add Python Script node, load Receptacle_Placement.py.
Connect inputs: walls (IN[0]), receptacle family type (IN[1]), optional start offset (IN[2]), spacing (IN[3]).
Run the script; verify receptacles in Revit.
Check Desktop for log file and review task dialog.

Notes:

Ensure walls are properly modeled with valid geometry for face detection.
Minimum wall length must exceed start offset (6 ft).
