Is there a way to find Dimension Types that are not using Project Settings, in particular dimension settings? I’ve tried both the Dimension.UsesProjectSettings and Dimension.Properties nodes from Rhythm and either they aren’t working or I’m expecting a different behavior from the node (most likely …

Ahhhhhh. Yes. There it is. It wasn’t there before Revit 2017.1 hard to imagine we had no options for this prior to that. [image]

Ah, my nodes expects instances of dimensions rather than types. If it gets types, it converts it to null resulting in inaccuracies. If you want, just pull the python script and FilterByBool mask node from my custom node for now. [image]

Let me take a closer look and fix it as necessary. :male_detective: @Chad_Clary , do you wanna try this python script for me in place of the other one? Just paste this in …

The Python is returning an empty list, which results in a Specified Cast Is Not Valid error in the bool filter. I did try adjusting the python to use DimensionType.GetUnitsFormatOptions() and that didn’t work either. I skimmed through the RevitAPI site but I’m out of my league at the moment…

I tried this in 2018 and it is at least partially working. I’m a moron and forgot to mention that I was trying all of this in 2016 - looks like some of the API related to dimensions changed between 2016 & 2018. The downside is the project I’m trying to check is going to be in 2016 for the foreseea…
