Couldn’t find mention of it on the interwebs, but is there a…
“All Elements of Subcategory”
…node out there? Where you can select all the elements per a specific subcategory?
Note that Orchid is the new package name, and that DanEDU is deprecated.
Thanks Guys…
Downloaded Orchid, but still doesn’t find elements…
I think that node is meant to be run in a family document. Are you by any chance running it in a project document?
As far as I know you can’t select individual subcategories if you’re not editing the family.
If you want to control visibility of the subcategories, you can check out this video https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/revit-products/learn-explore/caas/screencast/Main/Details/9cafa44e-e74a-4acf-bf52-d3a3212d248e.html.
You can also get inspired from that script if you want to control the elements that include particular subcategories.
@Andreas_Dieckmann Yes, was running it in the project doc.
Greetings everyone. I realize this is a little old, but hopefully, not too much because I could use some guidance. The last few posts of this topic pretty much took the wind out of my sail. I have been self-learning Dynamo, tucking away the feeling of being intimidated by anything code-related.
I apologize in advance for the lack of any screenshots as I didn’t know until a few moments ago that I would be diving into the forums. My project is to create and correctly place clearance zones on top of all cable trays and fittings: 12"H x (width of tray) x (length of tray). The clearance zone is formed from a line-based family, which gives the common denominator of all elements involved - the subcategory: center line. I didn’t know until after readings this topic that what I wanted from a subcategory might only be possible in the family editor? Very bad news as I trail back to the drawing board, or at least do some more research on this.
A) Is this correct in what I get out of what’s been said here?
B) Would anyone have a direction they can point me? I fell better about the end result when I do the labor/legwork necessary. So please try not to paste in a usable script or anything like that. IU learn easier when I do it also. I merely seek information or where I might find it.
and C) Should I abandon my search here and seek newer conversations? I am a noob when it comes to the forums, so bear with me.
