Check if a crop region has been rotated

[ashwinash112]

Hi, is there any method to check whether a crop region has been rotated?

Im placing Generic annotations on views and they are placed at wrong location when Crop region has been rotated.

Hi @ashwinash112,

You can obtain the Rotaiton of the CropRegion with the Element GetRotation node.
If the result isn’t 0, there is a rotation.

Thnx alban, it works well for Plan views, But not callouts and sections views.

is the Rhytm node doing the same thing? or is it different? however im just getting 0 whatever i rotate the crop region

Hey,
I also did a test and you are right, it doesn´t work for me with section views neither.

But keep in mind, for planviews you have to reset crop to get the right rotation angle if the crop box lines are not horizontal/vertical.

please see

Get and Set Rotation Angle of View on sheet

I just figured out what the Problem is. Before you can read out the Rotation Angle of a view you have to use the function Reset Crop! [image] Now i just have to find out how to do that in dynamo. Here you can see a View without a rotation that gives me a “false” rotation. After resetting crop i get 0° and thats what i want. [image]
