Collect callouts

1

Hi, I’m trying to collect all reference callouts of a detail view to get the data of which sheet number all the references are. Is there a node for this? or is there a way to collect all the callouts to work from there? I would need to get all reference callouts from a linked model too

Not sure how to code GetReferenceCallouts Method

Try this:

import clr
# Import DocumentManager and TransactionManager
clr.AddReference("RevitServices")

# Import ToDSType(bool) extension method
clr.AddReference("RevitNodes")
import Revit
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.Elements)

view = UnwrapElement(IN[0])

viewrefs = []
for i in view:
	viewref = i.GetReferenceCallouts()
	viewrefs.append(viewref)

OUT = viewrefs

When I add or delete referenced call outs. The all elements of category for views list dosnt change so its not picking them up. I think I have to try collect the callouts as a family or element somehow because if I pick it I can get these parameters I need

17

That getreferencecallouts method, can you do it to get the element Id then I can select it through that?

found this in a form. Had to type it out from a pic. Cant get it to work but maybe it could be of help to get a views callout element

That code works fine :

#geniusloci.bim@gmail.com

import clr
# Import DocumentManager and TransactionManager
clr.AddReference("RevitServices")
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
# Import RevitAPI
clr.AddReference("RevitAPI")
import Autodesk
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *

# Import ToDSType(bool) extension method
clr.AddReference("RevitNodes")
import Revit
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.Elements)

collectorViewer = FilteredElementCollector(doc)
OSTviewers = collectorViewer.OfCategory(BuiltInCategory.OST_Viewers).ToElements()

def GetAllCallouts(_doc, _OSTviewers):
	CalloutParent = []
	for view in _OSTviewers:
		paraIndex = BuiltInParameter.SECTION_PARENT_VIEW_NAME
		parameter = view.get_Parameter(paraIndex)
		if parameter != None:
			element = _doc.GetElement(view.get_Parameter
			(paraIndex).AsElementId())
			if element!= None:
				CalloutParent.append(view)
			
	return CalloutParent
	
OUT = GetAllCallouts(doc,OSTviewers)

it does to… Had to close and open dynamo again or it was from using what you posted with fixed errors thanks. Would be much easier to get the reference callouts from a view. I’ve also got to figure out how to get referenced callouts from a linked file :crazy_face:
