I’ve been searching, but not finding exactly what I’m looking for in regards to this topic. Can sheets and views be copied from a linked structural model into an MEP model? I ask this because, in doing the MEP design, we always link in the architecture and/or structural model? Being able to accom…

I liken this to the way an MEP project would have been set up in AutoCAD, prior to the days of Revit. Essentially, the architects would have created the sheets with overall plan views and additional sheets with enlarged views on them. An MEP engineer would generally copy the architects sheets, alo…

That’s what I assumed. Unfortunately the views still have to be recreated. The best way to do this is with scope boxes. If the architect isn’t using scope boxes you’ll have to get the crop boundary and associated level of each linked view and recreate your MEP views with the same properties.

Are scope boxes and/or crop boundaries permissible to be copied from a linked model?

Scope Boxes can be copy/pasted either through the UI or through Dynamo. Crop boundaries have to be created for each view but the process is essentially to get the boundary curves from the linked view and then use those same curves to create the boundary for your new view.

Maybe I can try by using the @john_pierson Rythm node “Document.CopyElementsFromDocument” to copy either the scope boxes (if they exist) or else the boundary curves from the linked model? I’m guessing it’s also just not that easy and something more would need to be done to turn those into views and…

Here is a working code for that… [image] Copy scope box from Link file Revit Hey, I agree that tab, copy and paste is totally valid and it’s best not to complicate. Unfortunately however, when you hit paste it lands into a seemlingly random location. Mostly I want to co…

I copy the sheets using insert from file and then bring in the views this way. It will also bring in the crop box or scope associated with the view. Very useful when copying multiple enlarged unit plans. [Capture1]

Good to know @scrowe , any chance you can either do a different screenshot of your graph so all of the nodes can be seen? Thanks for sharing!

COPY VIEWS FROM ARCH.dyn (15.5 KB) Can be edited to ad multiple filters for multiple different types of views. I have made several variations of this.

@scrowe , can you possibly expand a little on this method please? Are you saying that you manually use the INSERT > INSERT FROM FILE > INSERT VIEWS FROM FILE to get the sheets from the linked model into the active model, prior to running this script? If this is true, when I go to do this, none of t…
