I’m interested in using Dynamo to create a workflow for generating labels for pipes in section views. The goal is to label all pipe crossings for all pipe networks within a section view group.
My current work flow is selecting one pipe in one section view and generating pipe crossing labels for just that section view, then repeating.
My goal would be to be prompted for the following:
- Choose a section view to determine the section view group.
- Choose the pipe network from a dropdown list of available options.
- Choose the pipe label style from a dropdown list of available options.
- Generate section pipe labels.
The problem I’m running into is finding nodes that allow interaction with section view groups. I’m only seeing ways to interact with individual section views one at a time. I’m new with Dynamo so any help would be appreciated.
Hi @jconway,
Nodes for section view groups seems like a pretty good thing for us to add, so I will make a note of it.
For your current task, though, do you just need the ability to get a list of all section views in a group?
That’s great to hear! Would love to see that added.
I’m not sure if I can answer your question right now because this will be the first routine I’ve put together and I’m totally new to this all! There might be other things preventing me from getting this done that I’m not aware of.
Ideally, getting a list of all section views in a group is not necessary. I want to run this routine on all section views within a group, so there’s no real need to specify an individual section view. In Item #1 of my original post, I was imagining I would click on a section view in model space to start the routine. But this could (should?) be done with a dropdown list of available section view groups.
OK, maybe you can give it an initial try and then post any specific issues you run into?
