Hi j.pf
It’s one pdf per sheet.
Thank you, this is what I was thinking after reading through the posts…
I am looking for a solution which allows for mulitipage pdfs so detail, section and level marks link to the relevant page in the pdf. Is there anything like this already out there?
jksmith1992,
Can you please share your last iteration for the graph?
Thanks
Hi @Pedro_Gordinho,
I revised the “Print PDF” node to work with a list of PDF names and various sizes of paper.
I also added in the package “GeniusLoci” a node to merge a list of pdfs.

Hi,
Thanks to all posts online and especially in this forum i’ve got my batchplot up and running.
But… it only runs when i manually select the printsetting for each different papersize.
The goal is to build this so my co-workers do not need to set this up each time they intend to plot to pdf.
How can i set the value of the Print Settings to a static value. So he will scan the revitfile for present papersizes and print only them ofcourse. Somehow i need to get the id of the printsetting in the Print PDF node…
Can anybody help solve this?
Thanks,
Raf

First, are you aware that original “Print PDF” node from archilab doesn’t accept a list of printsettings ?
You can use the node from the package Genius Loci instead.
I think you can automate more your workflow without append each printsetting.
The workflow that I use needs same names for printsettings and titleblocks so there is a little constraint. It’s probably also possible to use a keyword to match titleblocks/sheets and printsettings.
I use one possible method with nodes to determine equality but it will also work with “IndexOf” and GetItemAtIndex.
Hi All
Apologies for not replying sooner. I’ve uploaded the dynamo file that I’ve done for our office (with @timhevel help).
The graph searches for the first three characters of the titleblock name and assigns them a print setting i.e if our sheet is a3 landscape our titleblock name starts with A3L. You then manually assign the print settings to that titleblock.
Hopefully this will help you out.

Hello to everybody!
@jksmith1992 I’ve tried to run your dynamo script and I’ve run one some problems. I have followed your instructions. You have used custom node for print settings? I don’t know if you have created your own or used from online package, so I’ve replaced it with print settings node from archi-lab package and it didn’t work as expected. Is there something different in your node from archilab node? Archilab node list printer settings but it doesn’t list sheets in view set (see picture).
Can you help me with this?
Thanks.

Hi @d.svigir
The Print settings node within mine is a custom node (based on advice from others) to get the first three characters of the titleblock name to compare them with my print settings names. Hopefully that makes sense. Below is a screenshot of the node.

Hi @jksmith1992
thanks a lot for the script. We are trying to use it in our environment and the only thing we are stuck with is that the PRINT TO PDF (CUSTOM NODE) has a warning:
Thank you in advance
Hi @jksmith1992
I know this is an old topic, but I have an error at the “PRINT TO PDF (CUSTOM NODE)”
Can you help me to solve this error?
Thanks,
