Code Error - "DetailLine = doc.Create.NewDetailCurve(View, Line)"

DesignScript
1

Hi Everyone,
I’m currently trying to learn DesignScript for pyRevit.
I’ve wrote the following code below, but i’m stuck on the line "DetailLine = doc.Create.NewDetailCurve(View, Line)"
I’ve tried a few different alternatives, but I can’t work out what i’m doing wrong here. Could someone able to point me in the right direction please.

“”"""""""""""""""""""""""""""
#import libraries and reference the RevitAPI and RevitAPIUI
import clr
import math
clr.AddReference(‘RevitAPI’)
clr.AddReference(‘RevitAPIUI’)
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *

doc = 'Detail Line - Continuous 0.18’
title = ‘CONT18’

#set the active Revit application and document
uidoc = revit.ActiveUIDocument
doc = revit.ActiveUIDocument.Document
app = revit.Application
view = doc.ActiveView

#define a transaction variable and describe the transaction
t = Transaction(doc, ‘Create Detail Line’)
t.Start()
#perform some action here…

create two points:

p1 = uidoc.Selection.PickPoint(“Click to specify instance location.”)
p2 = uidoc.Selection.PickPoint(“Click to specify instance location.”)

Create Line:

Line = app.Create.NewLineBound(p1, p2)
DetailLine = doc.Create.NewDetailCurve(View, Line)
t.Commit()

Thanks

Hi @Andy2

You where almost there.You where calling Revit application and document C# way.

import clr
clr.AddReference('ProtoGeometry')
clr.AddReference("RevitServices")
clr.AddReference("RevitAPI")
clr.AddReference("RevitNodes")
import Revit
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.GeometryConversion)
 
from Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry import *
 
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager
import Autodesk

doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
uiapp = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentUIApplication
app = uiapp.Application
uidoc=DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentUIApplication.ActiveUIDocument
 
p1 = uidoc.Selection.PickPoint("Click to specify instance location.")
p2 = uidoc.Selection.PickPoint("Click to specify instance location.")
 
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
view = doc.ActiveView
# "Start" the transaction
TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
 
line = Line.CreateBound(p1, p2)
cline = doc.Create.NewDetailCurve(view,line)
# "End" the transaction
TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()
 
OUT = cline
