Draw detail line under text

Revit
1

Hi all,
Just trying to do a red underline with black text. However, it won’t work in Revit. Is it possible to use dyanmo to select multiple text and draw a red detail line under each text?

Thanks in advance.

Probably with a bounding box could be a way :wink:

I decided to check on it myselfs and I seem to be having a similar problem.
Here is a comparison between obtaining the bounding box of a text note via the OOTB node, vs getting it with a python node. The OOTB doesn’t work for me:

Very Strange which version are you In @viktor_kuzev

11

That was in 2021.
I just checked 2022 and it works normally there - no such issue

Allright Nice to know…havent test on 21

@sovitek I just checked 2020 - and there I get the exact same error message as OP.
Really weird, since there is no reason for that - the python node works in both 2020 and 2021 and it isn’t doing anything special.

Yes indeed really weird…hmmmm :wink:

@sovitek @tws , you can use the Annotion Boundingbox node from Genius Loci for that. :slight_smile:

Thanks @jw.vanasselt but still strange the ootb node doesnt work in 2021 for textnodes

17

@sovitek , I think that it wasn’t possible in the API till 2022 :slight_smile:

18

It is very much possible, at least in 2021 and 2020 where I tested it with my python node

That is what I used and works in 20,21,22
and this is the element.boundingbox node of Dynamo core 2.6.2 which is the core I have in Revit 2021:

It is doing the same thing, but it first tries to pass a null in the get_BoundingBox, which works for non view specific elements (model elements).
So I still can’t figure why the ootb node doesn’t work

I have tried to run it in 2021. The element.boundingbox node is still not work. @viktor_kuzev’s script works for me. Thank you all of you.
