How can we set crop box from the begining of create a view?
I got that Z of Minpoint is the Far clip distance
So How can we get X & Y because I feel they are not a location point in 3D model. It relates to a “invisible” center point of view (which we get from View.BoxCenter node)
Hey Jin,
I’m not sure what your issue is. I think their is a English grammar problem.
But here is some explanation of Dynamo / Revit terminology:
Cropbox = contours of a view of the 3D elements. It is a 2,5D element within the Project Coordination system. (Same space where you draw your 3D elements)
Viewport = contours of a view on a sheet. This will also be around all the annotations (spot elevations, dimensioning, tags etc) that you have around your view
If you want the X&Y of a cropbox I suggest the Crumple package for Dynamo. It can get the Cropbox curves:
Notice that you will have to convert your curves to polyCurves first, you can use a node such as:
PolyCurve.ByJoinedCurves
Another method
You can also not get the cropbox at all and set the Cropbox based on your own created curves.
I have a script that grabs the contours of a Curtain Wall and the sets + offsets the Cropbox around them.
