Hi guys is there a way to duplicate a sheet in Revit and rename it, and by duplicate I mean if I have prepared sheet and I want to keep the same information after duplication. Regards ---

Sheets cannot be duplicated via the Revit API. What you could do is create a new sheet using the same title block type and then assign the parameter values of the original sheet. Package SteamNodes by Julien Benoit has a node for making sheets. ---

you can do this without Dynamo by right clicking on empty sheet and selecting “copy to clipboard” then paste as much as you want. I wonder if this can be done via Dynamo. ---

Thank you Andreas it’s working now as u said, I could load the sheet template and rename it through read names from excel. ---

@Mohammad_Nawar there’s a new package that just been launched called bimorphNodes which does exactly what you’re asking: **Duplicate Sheets/placed views:** ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/2X/9/94b75c4e76925aa2ab11c45019b2677472e87c63.png) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/2X/3/3283bcde975fd0e81631af2dfa23fc5c5b808005.png) and **Renumber/rename Sheets:** ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/2X/2/20d0b338c1e5df020f0aee5cd52b5103155f2f46.png) ---

Hi, Do you mind help me with this? I’m a novice Dynamo user. I’m trying to run DuplicateSheets node, but I don’t know how to fill the first parameter and make it works.

Hi @rrjimenez you need to feed in Revit sheet elements. Since you need specific sheets and are new to Dynamo, there is a very simple workflow you can follow using the `GetSheetsFromSchedule` also found in bimorphNodes package. **Step 1:** Create a new sheet schedule in Revit and filter it so only the sheets you want to duplicate are listed. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/0/4/04c68f2b0f9b4ab40b4d375f91fd8ed75ba3af08.png) **Step 2:** Place the `GetSheetsFromSchedule` node on your graph and input either the Revit View using `Views` node from the Revit library, or simply enter the name of the schedule as a string: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/2/8/285621bbee5c340a8244208f819af219a0914cf0.jpg) **Step 3:** If you connect the output from the `GetSheetsFromSchedule` node into your `DuplicateSheets` node _sheets_ input, then click run you’ll duplicate those sheets **Note:** I recommend you change your Dynamo execution mode to Manual (the button bottom-left corner of the interface), and remember to click Run button when you want to update/re-execute your graph. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/9/4/94747f1a757fd780737e0c167c908f634f1e505d.jpg) ---

Nice. The next release of bimorphNodes will include both a prefix and affix option, and an output of all the new sheet elements to aid with downstream workflows. I’ll announce the next release as soon as its available from the package manager. ---
