Create Shared Site

[L.Cunningham]

I need dynamo to automate this process, unfortunately I’m not to good a using python and the API just yet…

I think I found one of the methods in the API that I will have to leverage
Duplicate Project position: https://www.revitapidocs.com/2018.1/18ada300-7084-2281-63c8-13c40e14e5b7.htm

Here’s what I have so far: UpdateSharedSite.dyn (15.1 KB)

I’m open to any suggestions

-Thanks

I have made decent progress today, I think I’m slowly getting the hang of this i have hit a snag though.

I have been able to make a function to duplicate the project location in the current document but I can’t get it to work on linked documents.

By now I’ve tried probably 95+ iterations to no avail. (transaction issues, sublist issues, various other issues that are still over my head)

# Import RevitAPI
import clr
clr.AddReference("RevitAPI")
import Autodesk
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *

# Import DocumentManager and TransactionManager
clr.AddReference("RevitServices")
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument

input = UnwrapElement(IN[0])

linkDoc = []
for x in input:
	linkDoc.append(x.GetLinkDocument())

def DupeLocation(loc):
	TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
	name = loc.Name
	newPos = loc.Duplicate(name +"Dupe1")
	pos = newPos.ProjectPosition[XYZ(0,0,0)]
	angle = pos.Angle
	ew = pos.EastWest
	e = pos.Elevation
	ns = pos.NorthSouth
	TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()
	return [ newPos, angle, ew, ns, e]

#locations = doc.ProjectLocations
linkLocations = linkDoc.ProjectLocations

#Assign your output to the OUT variable.
#OUT = [GetValues(x) for x in locations]
#OUT = [DupeLocation(x) for x in locations]
OUT = [DupeLocation(x) for x in linkLocations]
#OUT = [input, linkDoc]

FilteredElementCollector Issues? (Site Coordination)

Hello everyone, I am trying to push the project location of my host file to all the Revit links that are in that file. [image] I have been able to create a project location within the host file. [image] However, trying to do the same with linked Revit documents has been unsuccessful. [image] The empty lists in my debugging output lead me to believe that this is an issue with the collector, as the only document that shows is the current one although there are two revit links in the proj…

Publish Coordinates Transactions

Howdy , I’m trying to use the PublishCoordinates Method to publish linked project locations that have the same name as the host file’s project location, but I’m having trouble with the transactions. [image] The method requires both a transaction and a LinkElementId, the issue is that opening a transaction in the current document will not allow you to interact with the linked file(and subsequently the LocationId), transactions cannot be opened in linked files, and opening the…

It is coming together nicely.
