After I got this to work I realized that my model has many (10) linked models associated, So I am trying to figure out a way to iterate the above code (to find the linked doors) over each linked model doc. I want to create one list with the linked doors. So iterating this code over each link and writing all the outcomes to the same list which should be the same length as the door tags list. Keeping the elements and rewriting the new elements to the null values - keeping the previous ones.
Right now I am able to get one list per linked model through the use of List.Map but this node does not append to the same list rather it creates a new list.
Another user warned me about this problem with the package manager in Dynamo 2.0.
So I made some investigations on differents computers with exactly same packages installed, same Revit build and same Dynamo build.
I found one computer where the error occurs when 2 essential packages are already installed.
If I remove these packages, there is no more crash.
Note that installing the package in Dynamo 2.0 crashes Revit but the package is still installed.
On other computers there is no problem when installing the Genius Loci package, so it’s therefore very difficult to solve the issue.
To avoid crashing Revit, a workaround is to download the package from the website https://dynamopackages.com/ and place the contents of the .zip in the folder : C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Dynamo\Dynamo Revit\2.0\packages\Genius Loci
I also experienced crashes when installing other packages with Dynamo 2.0 and so the problem does not seem to be limited to this particular package.
Yes I was able to find a workaround similar to the above, opened it on a remote desktop and it worked
However I still have an issue with the output data from the node. I need to ensure the same index for both the door and the tag.
Meaning for item #17 in the Tag list should relate to item #17 in the door list. Right now it is not the case. There are cases where the linked document does not have the door so it goes to the next tag - thereby ruining the indexing.
Any ideas? My final out come i need is to get the TagText which contains the door number?
Is there a way to alter the current node, or make a new one, that can get the TagText from a IndependentTag hosted to a door in a linked model?
That may be an old issue with any situation where active contents are modified forcing a refresh of content already in the active graph, at such a rate where bad things happen and the computer ca t keep up. I rarely update packages via the manager without first saving everything, a behavior dating back to when I was using Dynamo 0.6.2. Better results now, but perhaps not completely resolved.
@Alban_de_Chasteigner do you know of this occurred in a blank graph (nothing placed in the Dynamo workspace), with a clean install of the package, and Dynamo in manual execution mode?
Thanks for your reply.
I always install packages without an open graph. (the same crash occurs with a blank graph in manual execution mode).
The amazing thing for me is why on some computers, the package installs normally and not on others.
See the attached document for my dynamo graph. I added notes to the area where I need to fix the indexing.
The overall goal of this script is to find all the Door Tags and schedule information that is contained in both the door(only the mark value) and the tag. I get it all to work except the wrong information is being combined.
Can’t import System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary2+ValueCollection. ValueCollection is already imported as System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary2+KeyCollection, namespace support needed.
My guess is a clashing package. Can you provide a list of all packages you have on the system?
Hi,
Thank you for the update. I was able to isolate the error I was having - it was a clash of packages as @jacob.small mentioned. Lunchbox and GeniusLoci were not getting along, So I removed lunchbox and we are all set to go.
I still have some bugs to work out in my graph but I’ll figure those out.
Thank you both for your help. These forums are amazing!
