Displace Elements (Create Displacement Set)

[wvee]

Is there a way to add model elements in a 3D view to a displacement set with Dynamo?

Have tried adapting python script from this thread but have had no luck:

Create Displacement Element

Hi guys, I’m trying to create a exploded view but I haven’t found anything on the subject… In the API there is a method to create a DisplacementElement, but it needs a parent DisplacementElement. https://www.revitapidocs.com/2019/891b2088-81e0-aa88-5e8b-3ffacc3d35a3.htm In another words, I need to create it first in revit and then apply the “translation” in dynamo/python? Is there any way to do it fully in python? [image]

Hello @wvee something here for cpython3…

cpython3

Amazing! I noticed that it worked when selecting multiple elements, but not when selecting only a single element to displace. When only a single model element is selected it gives this error “Error: iteration over non-sequence” Is this a limitation with displacing?

you could try a list create before feed in if single, or create a node so you have option for lacing…or edit the code for both single and multiple
