Morning,

I’ve got a little bit of an odd problem, to do with prompting syntax.

Everyone loves code blocks, a nice little prompt to remind you of the syntax you need but for some reason for me Point. and Curve. have given up the ghost. You can type in any other standard prompt (line./arc. etc) and the usual list comes up but not it seems with point or curve.

I’m using 1.2.1.3083. Has anyone else had this problem or any ideas how to resolve it?

Thanks,

MB

Bakery  
Clockwork for Dynamo 1.x  
Flux.Dynamo  
Landform

Rhythm  
Slingshot!  
spring nodes  
Steam Nodes

Thanks for the help,

Matt

Hi @Matt_Burton

Uninstall Rhynamo and Slingshot. See if that makes any difference. After Uninstalling Restart you revit.

That has made the difference! thanks.

So this mean there is something in Rhynamo or Slingshot that stops Design Scripts working properly, that’s a shame.

Thanks again for the help.

Matt

I guess it’s too late now, but you could have tried Autodesk.Point:
