Thanks for teaching me Dynamo in less then 2 weeks, and thanks for the resources you give the community for free to use and learn from. Ive learnt more from you then from my Dynamo cource. The pacing is great and yeah, Thanks. Ive rebuild this in Revit 2022, without Archi lab because archi lab isnt supported for the version of dynaamo we run in our company. Im making these scripts atnight or the weekend, because its so busy at the firm. But when you can automate tedious taks and not have time to build the solutions, youll never get anywhere. Some day I hope to get near your level. Next on the list is building a pyrevit tool for the company group. Big thanks from The Netherlands Keep it up
The reason this is so useful to me is because we work as MEP engineers making big housing projects. 200+ houses in a project.. And we need to make sheets per house, and therefor create a dependent view per house (SB) for each level and each discipline. (Ventilation, E, gas and water etc). So its monday morning 3 am almost and Im pumped to start the week ! ❤
You could look into Data shapes to create a dropdown interface for view types I guess if it's bneen removed - there isn't any other routes I'm aware of unfortunately.
Hi Aussie, I am not able to find the UI.Listview data datashape, I tried searching for datashapes in the Dynamo package installer but couldn't find it, could you help me on how to find the datashape node.
for ID I duplicated some views but the elevation marker on the also duplicated. so i now have multiple elevation markers on my floor plan. any way to filter the callout and elevation markers to reference views only on sheet
Yes if you want to filter by views on sheets only, you can use their referencing sheet parameters. Use element.parameters to inspect the data available to filter by.
Hi Aussie BIM Guru your video is very helpful but i am not able to start the script. As I am not able to get the "view type" and so on which package shall i download can you help me with
I want to create a view sequence like this: after creating the scope box, dynamo will automatically create the callout and assign that scope box parameter to the callout, is that possible? Thanks alot.....
Yes most things are possible in Dynamo but you would need to script those steps in sequence. Each of those would need enough input such as the callout location and name of view, and python is likely needed.
Nice work! Just wonder wheter it is possible to hide the scope boxes automatically in all of the generated views, instead of toggling "show/hide crop region" manually in each of them? Thank in advance!
Cheers Ruben! To toggle this field for all views, you can set the 'Crop Region Visible' parameter for the views after they are generated. Make sure to set them to longest lacing, this should apply it to all of them!
Is package Data Shapes stil running? I have download the packages but there is not much. I'm missing UI.Listview Data and UI.MultipipleinputForm ++ Do i something wrong or..?
Yes it should be up to date in 2021/dynamo 2.6. I'd suggest ensuring whichever version you use is compatible with your revit build, and upgrade to the latest sub-build too. Have a look under the input section of the package library, nodes change name sometimee.
Great video! One (maybe very stupid) question: You use the parameters v_name and s_name, I'm assuming these are built-in for Revit. Where can I find a list of these parameters, and is there a way to 'shorten' them. For Example: I like to use only the first two characters of the v_name in the naming structure of the new views. Thank you, I really appreciate your video's!
These parameters are essentially just placeholder variables. You can make these whatever you like as long as they aren't taken already as a function or method in code block format (for example e.Name would not be allowed, as .Name is a method that can be applied to the variable 'e').
Sure is! The dropdown for 'Duplicate Options' can be adjusted to duplicate views (see 12:02) with detailing or without as well (or just have a dependent views with no scope box applied). The scope box set parameter node (12:15) can be left out, all you would need to consider is what to name your views and how to crop them if needed.
hello ... thank you for the script,,, it would be grateful if you could confirm the packages used in 14.51- duplicate option and Views.Duplicate.. (From archilab as mentioned in the start of the video.. however i am not getting it inspite of having archilab installed) Thankyou ....
No worries, replied. The issue is likely in the UI++ results as the syntax of the code block is OK - it's failing to find indices of the list so the UI++ must be collecting only one input.
@@metalbladerecorder you could use this workflow; ruclips.net/video/6W78HpuBXUE/видео.html I've tested and it should work for normal as well as dependent views, as long as there is elements visible in the dependents.

@@yuraharutyunyan9413 yes older builds it might not. I usually build in revit 2020+ so havent tried 2019 for a while now. Suggest browsing what is available and seeing if it had a different name in old builds maybe. It's definitely available in dynamo 2.0.4 which can be installed for revit 2019.

You're welcome!
Might want to check out my views/sheets/views to sheets videos too, super handy for towers
This is a great video it looks like they have removed the view type node on archilab and I couldn’t see it on orchid? Any help?

Hi Aussie, I am not able to find the UI.Listview data datashape, I tried searching for datashapes in the Dynamo package installer but couldn't find it, could you help me on how to find the datashape node.
Search for data-shapes instead. It is definitely there.

Views.Duplicate and Duplicate Options can both be found in archilab v.2020.23.13 (the build I use currently).
Hi,
Just send you a mail because i am stucked at the Code block-list.Count - List.cycle nodes
No worries, replied. The issue is likely in the UI++ results as the syntax of the code block is OK - it's failing to find indices of the list so the UI++ must be collecting only one input.
wow, it's very powerful even though I don't usually work with scope boxes, In which I should. thanks anyways
Yeah scope boxes are a life saver! Definitely a must use feature on multistory projects.
Thank you
You're welcome!
