Duplicate and open newly view

Revit

Part of a graph I’m working on requires the duplication of the 3D view, I’ve been following using the following post Call View to Open as the basis for my graph by I’m encountering an error I can’t seem to resolve.

@EddieSaez can you format your code and post an image of the python script?

3

The python script is in the post…
Unsure about formatting it for the post

4

My guess is that it might be in the header part, a new line was made outside of the comment. Can you take a screenshot on the inside of your python script, as shown in dynamo?

The python node is working for me in Dynamo 2.0 with Revit 2018. Sorry, can’t find what’s wrong. Try recreating the python node maybe?

revit version? Dynamo Version?

Interesting… I’m Revit 2019 with Dynamo 2.0
Wonder if that’s the issue

12

It works with Revit 2019 and Dynamo 2.02 but just with one view.
I think you are providing a list. Let me see if I get the same error with a list

13

I get a different error if using a list as input, the ‘expects a view, got list’

14

yes that’s the error I get
Well the idea is to duplicate the 3D view and then make the duplicate the active view.

that’s not the error in your initial screenshot.

You need to loop then

for i in view:
    uidoc.RequestViewChange( i )

apologies, I had been trying somethings to resolve it, hence the different error

17

I give up… I’ve eliminate the errors, but it just won’t open the duplicated view
Thanks for your help… appreciate it

This works for me. I had to take out the duplicate options node as it kept giving me errors everytime I opened the graph, making me have to remake the node. Instead I just use a string "Duplicate" and it works.

me too. I had to install the latest version of the package.

@EddieSaez It works. Try to close and reopen the dynamo graph. Run manual
