Hey again, Stumbled upon another supposedly simple issue, but that strangely enough just does not work. I would like to get the VersionNumber or VersionBuild of the current revit application from within a dynamo python node. My plan was to use app = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentUIApplication.App…

Have a look at the Application.Version node in pkg Clockwork - it has the Python code you’ll need.

Hi @Andreas_Dieckmann , Thanks, I found the node you recommended and indeed, it exhibits more or less the exact same code as posted above. Also, it exhibits the exact same error when the python node is run outside of the .dyf ( “The managed object is not valid”. ). When run from within the. dyf the…

Hi @Andreas_Dieckmann What are your software versions?

Not sure if I wrote this while in Revit 2017 or 2016. I did add some new 2018 API stuff but the script checks for the app version before calling that.

@Andreas_Dieckmann i meant to ask @jakob.lilliemarck :grin:. The node (and the code posted above) both work for me on 2017 and 2018.

As posted above I use 2016 and dynamo 1.3. The node seems to work on my collegues 2017 version though, so upgrading as we speak. Still, I belive I’ve been following the 2016 API so not quite clear why it doesn’t work.

Hi @jakob.lilliemarck [image] [image]

After installing 2017 my current Dynamo version in 2016 changed from 1.3.1.0 to 0.9.1.0 and then both mine and your code works fine. I guess it seems like there’s an issue with Dynamo 1.3.1.0 with Revit 2016 altough it installs without errors? Also Dynamo says it’s “up to date” in 2016 even though …

@jakob.lilliemarck you need to reinstall 1.3.1 and make sure you check all this while you install [image]

Already did altough I don’t have 2018 installed yet. Just baffled by why these things happen and thinking that I’d report them so they may be fixed.
