Auto Deleting Families Placed by the Same Script

Hey all, I know there is acouple threads on this topic already. The problem is dynamo deletes elements that are placed in revit if you run the script twice. I know its to allow for easy testing with dynamo. but is there a way to disable that? i would like to be able to run alot of my scripts by level and i cant because when i run it on the first level it gets deleted when i run the second level. Is anyone working on a way to turn off that setting?

Dynamo package beaker has a node called “Bake elements” that does this i believe

i tried that and it kept the elements!! which is great!! new problem is that i ran level 1 and it worked! then i ran level 2 and it changed the parameters for the elements in level 1

Do you know why it would be duplicating the doors when i run the script for level 2?

The best solution is to use Dynamo Player.
