Dynamo - 4 Points adaptive component along two lines update for version 0.7.1

When I tried to update the previous definition to the 0.7.1 release something went wrong and Dynamo was stuck.
I took the opportunity to rethink the definition and I found a slightly different approach to the problem: this time I keep the curves as distinct elements almost to the end, this way it's easier to check the orientation of the curves and get rid of the special node for opposite direction of the curves.
After selecting the model lines in the Revit environment Dynamo automatically places the Adaptive component accordingly to the maximum width specified for the subdivision.
If the orientations of the lines are opposite, Dynamo reverses one of the two and perform the definition anyway.

There's always need to delete the panels manually once created like in previous version, it would be nice to have a "dispose" node for this particular goal.
Here's the custom node definition and here's the test definition I've used.

Dynamo - 3 points Adaptive Component

Today I was emailing with HyunWoo Kim of Enjoy Revit about a possible workflow involving adaptive components.

I made this quick Dynamo exercise on multiple elements selection and a specific 3 points adaptive component.

The 1st and the 2nd point of the family are attached to the ends of the curve while the 3rd is attached to the mid point. The tricky part was to get Dynamo understand the corresponding parameter for the mid point, infact if you insert in the list the value "0.5" directly it returns an error because somehow 5 is passed instead.

But if you use this simple formula c=(a+b)/2, everything seems to work properly.
It also works on curves in a linked DWG.

Here you can find the definition.

UPDATE

The error with 0.5 is no longer an issue since I changed the Operating System settings of the decimal separator for numbers changing them from comma to point.
In order to change it you have to go to Control Panel and click for the location settings, then customize the formats for numbers specifing a point instead of a comma as decimal separator.
Thanks to Colin McCrone and a reader who actually gave me this tip in the comments below.

Dynamo - Placing adaptive components along two lines

UPDATE

Here's an example of how to use Dynamo to place adaptive components between two lines.

As you can see the surface is quite complex to handle with a sloped glazing and it's way lighter this way rather than with standard curtain panels. I've used 4 points adaptive components that remain flat, lines I've already set up to implement the subdivisions and a couple of Dynamo custom nodes to manage different orientation of the lines.

What is shown in the video is the process I've been using to free Dynamo of the adaptive components.

First select two lines to be processed by the custom node. Once the components are placed there's a lot of copy/paste going on in the Dynamo environment since it retains the ID of the elements it creates.

Deleting the nodes in Dynamo will affect the project but an Undo will restore the adaptive components back on.

Here's a video that shows the structure of the custom node in case of lines with opposite direction: the spacing is set to be 2.5m, I've made a more generic custom node with a length input but it seems to be passed the wrong value and it needs to be fixed inside the custom node.
The family type used could be outside also, I've put it inside just to speed up the process.

What is missing here is a "try and catch" node to let Dynamo decide what custom node is needed depending on the orientation of the lines. Also it would be nice to have a feature that automatically clears the nodes after the definition runs.

Here you can find the definitions of two generic custom nodes.
