Hello all, I have created a script to generate a new sheet and place standard views on it. If I need to create another new sheet though it just renumbers the first one. Closing Dynamo does not work a full close of Revit must be done. I know this problem has been around for some time now and I was l…

Hi @Steven_Hansen, I had a quick look at the code you are using. The inputs haven’t been wrapped in a list so the len(sheetnumbers) is literally iterating through each character. I have written my own below … import clr clr.AddReference(“RevitServices”) import RevitServices from RevitServices.P…

Hi @Steven_Hansen , This topic was discussed here also… Circumvent Revit Object "replacement" It seems to be common issue. But, I can see a very good reason why Dynamo should keep track of elements it creates (Element Binding). There are ways to get around it however, Python works for me as the El…

Hello Daniel, Thank you once again for the help. Element Binding is very helpful some times and sometimes not so much. To the best of my knowledge the only package with a sheet crater is Konrad_K_Sobon’s Archi-lab; however it only creates placeholder sheets. I was able to use the Node to Code opti…

Amazing Dan Thank you very much. It works perfectly. One last thing that is Element Binding. I am using Clockworks FamilyInstance.ByPointInView. It uses a python code but the element I place moves when I create another sheet. Does the code need to be altered with Einar_Raknes comment in the post yo…

Here is the code used in Clockworks FamilyInstance.ByPointInView import clr clr.AddReference('RevitAPI') from Autodesk.Revit.DB import * clr.AddReference("RevitNodes") import Revit clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.Elements) clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.GeometryConversion) clr.AddReference("RevitServices"…

I changed that line and it works. Amazing what one line can change. Dan Thank you for all of your help.

You’re welcome @Steven_Hansen ! Glad you got it working. :wink:

Hi @Steven_Hansen Steven_Hansen: I changed that line and it works. Amazing what one line can change. Could you drop your final solution here so that it will be useful to others with the similar issue. Thanks :slight_smile:

I was just about to do that. Very sorry should have done it the first go around. The only change I made was to line 29 (third from last). Was: elementlist.append(newobj.ToDSType(False)) Changed to: “elementlist.append(newobj.ToDSType(True))” This node was modified from Clockwork for Dynamo 1.x i…
