Bimorph DWG Import - Bringing over text ( Exploding? )

[Joe.ashton]

Hi,

I’ve made a script using bimorph nodes that transfers DWG lines into detail lines. It works great and I managed to add some Data-shapes UI to choose the line-style for each line.

However, for some of our drawings; there are ALOT of text/annotations that my script doesn’t bring over. After doing some research I found that exploding a cad import in Revit transfers to DWG text into Revit.

I’ve looked through Bimorph and couldn’t find anything that works with text.

So I’m wondering If there is a way to add this to the script to automate both lines and Text in the DWG To Revit Transfering.

Thanks for the help

Joe

Unfortunately text elements within a DWG or DGN are not exposed in the Revit API (and therefore Dynamo), which means there is no way to access them. The only option is to explode them using the standard Revit Explode command, then you can filter these elements using Dynamo. I believe there is a way to do this using the RevitAPIUI, which simply automates the explode command (see link), however its limited to Revits 10000 element limit. @jacob.small suggestion is worth pursuing if you are an Au…

Ahh that sucks

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

it is indeed sad, Will there be any update in the Revit APi concerning this issue?

It might be one of the last linkes to import the last Autocad infos into revit.
