[image] get view from sheet>and select callout in plan by element selection for me its not working

It doesn’t like the callout you have selected for some reason. Can you try manually changing the callout reference for the selected callout in Revit to see if anything gives you a warning there?

Thanks for your reply, I want to create functionality such that if I select a sheet in the Project Browser and then a view reference tag, it should extract the view from the sheet and apply the target view to the view reference tag. This is what I am trying to achieve. If possible, please help me wi…

Are you selecting a callout or a view reference tag. The node is changing the reference view of the callout so you need to provide a callout element. The tag would update automatically.

It means you can only read the value, not write new values to it. You cannot change the view reference in sheet viewport labels. This is set by Revit. Yes it gets it wrong a lot of the time. It is an old feature that has been requested to support an override for over 10 years now.

You can “trick” this sometimes by hiding the referencing element in the view and it will then jump to another one. I’ve done this before but it can be tedious. I suppose you could try to collect all viewers then turn them off everywhere but the view you want and maybe it would get you there.

Hi Sean…great tip :wink: but dont sound so stable :wink:

I’d agree, I’d call it more of a ‘hack’, but it has proven useful in the past. More of something you use here and there but not a definitive “solution” by any means.
