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. ---

@tws , there are two problems for me get the line type and the correct units… ![2022-10-06_13h19_40](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/3/0/30b04f74a977bf0707e248fc571c916b9a42d202.png) ![redlineText_2022-10-06_01-19-23](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/0/8/08068d121282c9927d9e4d8a045eef8d60995579.png) ---

Probably with a bounding box could be a way 😉 ![Revit_TbQw906PSh](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/b/5/b5a2dfc5835ee43aae492efa20608346f735badd.gif) ---

Yes, I have tried serval times. May I know the version of Revit you are using. ---

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: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/1/d/1d9faa3e8196bae7e1e6cdd6eb68b7bd9073ca51.png) ---

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

@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. ---

@sovitek @tws , you can use the Annotion Boundingbox node from Genius Loci for that. 🙂 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/b/a/ba97c61e4f26c60a9d8cdae96bfbec4fd2ebc0b6.png) ---

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

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

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

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.
