Hi @chuongmep, Thanks for sharing this code. I am testing it but I get this error: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/6/0/6005c48ac9d010d99262d6acdaa61b71c52f3fd2.png) I just pasted your code on a Python node. Is it there anything else I have to do? Thanks in advance! ---

Try, i thinks that is a problem with dynamo version higher `"` vs` '` import clr clr.AddReference(“RevitAPI”) clr.AddReference(“RevitAPIUI”) 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 DocumentManager as DM # Document manager from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager as TM # Transaction manager NewName = IN[0] doc = DM.Instance.CurrentDBDocument TM.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc) projloc = doc.ActiveProjectLocation NEW = projloc.Name = NewName TM.Instance.TransactionTaskDone() OUT = NewName ---

Hi @chuongmep, Thanks for coming back. I finally managed to make it work! It is really useful. The issue was the type of token, for some reason Dynamo 2.0.2 does not recognise ´, ’, “ or ”, but yes " or '. Maybe it is a matter of keyobard language or symbols. By the way, now that the rename current Project Location works, I am wondering if there is a way to rename multiple Project Locations of current document. Or even better from linked documents. Sorry, I am pretty new with Python… ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/f/0/f031fa1aebed7cdc9ce37a99c859ad8a52622a0f.png) Thanks! ---

Hi @chuongmep, I managed to change name to multiple locations. Please see below. Last step that I would like to achive is to do it from a Host model to several linked instances. If you have any idea it would be appreciated. Thanks for the support! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/6/2/629dfe215ed47fdbaac437c56309cb99c80b3b60.png) ``` import clr clr.AddReference('ProtoGeometry') from Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry import * # Import DocumentManager and TransactionManager clr.AddReference('RevitServices') import RevitServices from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager # Import RevitAPI clr.AddReference('RevitAPI') import Autodesk from Autodesk.Revit.DB import * doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument uiapp = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentUIApplication app = uiapp.Application # Do some actions in a Transaction TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc) ProjectLocations = UnwrapElement(IN[0]) NewCurrentLocationName = IN[1] NewLocationNames = IN[2] CurrentLocationElement = list() NamedElementsList = list() ExceptList = list() CurrentLocationID = doc.ActiveProjectLocation.Id for ProjectLocation, NewName in zip(ProjectLocations, NewLocationNames): try: if ProjectLocation.Id == CurrentLocationID: ProjectLocation.Name = NewCurrentLocationName CurrentLocationElement.append(ProjectLocation) else: ProjectLocation.Name = NewName NamedElementsList.append(ProjectLocation) except: ExceptList.append("Error"+ProjectLocation.Id) # Finish Transaction TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone() # Final Output OUT = [CurrentLocationElement, NamedElementsList, ExceptList] ``` ---
