Convert Model Lines to Detail lines

Hi All,

I’m trying to convert model lines to detail lines using the following method:

ConvertModelToDetailCurves Method

I found this topic:

NewFootPrintRoof Troubles

You’re half way there. This is one of those parts of c# that are not easily convertible to iron python. Try the below instead: footprint = CurveArray() for o in outline: footprint.Append(o.ToRevitType(True) ) TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc) roofCurves = StrongBox[ModelCurveArray](ModelCurveArray() ) footprintRoof = doc.Create.NewFootPrintRoof(footprint, level, roofType, roofCurves) TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone() OUT = footprintRoof.ToDSType(False),…

I get this error:

this is the code:

import clr

# 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

ModelLines=UnwrapElement(IN[0])
CurrentView=UnwrapElement(IN[1])

dl = CurveArray()

for ml in ModelLines:
    dl.Append(ml.GeometryCurve)
    
TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)

CurveArray = [ModelCurveArray](ModelCurveArray() ) #line 26

DetailLines = Autodesk.Revit.DB.Document.ConvertModelToDetailCurves(doc,CurrentView,CurveArray)

TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()

OUT = DetailLines

Hi @salvatoredragotta

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

 
array = ModelCurveArray()

inn=IN[0]
if not isinstance(IN[0], list):
    inn=[]
    inn.append(IN[0])
for i in inn:
    array.Append(UnwrapElement(i))
view=UnwrapElement(IN[1])
 
TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
DetailLines = doc.ConvertModelToDetailCurves(view,array)

TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()

OUT = DetailLines

Thanks @Kulkul! That was easier than I thought!

Hi Kulkul. Thank you for you helpful script. May I ask how will you assign a Line Style for this output? I found the output type of this script is autodesk.revit.db.detailline, but Element.SetParameterByName node need revit.element.detailline as input. It seems failed to set a style.

Thanks
