can anyone tell me how to get the bounding box of an elevation marker the bounding box by element node doesn’t seem to work with this type of input

There is no bounding box for most annotation categories. Try Element.geometry. If that does t work you can try to pull the family type’s geometry, apply any parameter values which deform the element, and then apply the transform properties of the instance to that resulting geometry.

The Element.Geometry node doesn’t seem to work with the elevation marker either. I don’t know how to pull the family type’s geometry. What I am trying to do is get the room name that an elevation marker is in.

Element.location turn anything up? Try pulling the transform coordinates too.

no that didn’t work either [image]

Hi @Phillip_Sheridan , Does your elevationmarker contain views ? I remembered this remark in the thread below. https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/rotate-elevation-marker/18941/5?u=mjb-online

I think because the elevation marker’s geometry is view specific, you would have to supply a view to get its bounding box. This should work to supply you the bounding box min and max points; you’ll have to adjust it if you wish to handle lists: [elev%20bounding%20box] import clr clr.AddReference…

Thanks for that - I don’t know enough Python to make it handle lists though :frowning:

import clr clr.AddReference('RevitAPI') import Autodesk from Autodesk.Revit.DB import * clr.AddReference('RevitNodes') import Revit clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.GeometryConversion) clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.Elements) clr.AddReference('RevitServices') from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentM…

I’m trying to name a list of elevations by what rooms the elevation markers are in. I downloaded a dynamo graph but it didn’t work because the bounding box node wouldnt accept elevation marker as an input. It must have worked at some point because they wouldnt publish it if it didn’t ?
