As requested by Zach some of my comments on the latest 1.2.0. Some of the below are questions and others are just observations for feedback. If others have any comments/feedback directly related to new OOTB nodes in Dynamo 1.2.0 please add to this thread. Thanks
-
Dimension tools - Currently only supports model lines? So as a workflow to dimension between two walls you first need to extract the location curves from the walls, convert these lines to model lines and then dimension between this. As a workaround this is okay but for the dimension to work it needs the model lines in Revit, so suddenly you will have thousands of model lines also in your project.
-
Filter tools - When creating a new filter and then applying it to a view if I then want to change the OverrideGraphicSettings.ByProperties for that filter I cant seem to get the FillPattern inputs to work regardless of what I feed in. Whether that be an integer, the actual fill pattern element, or the fill pattern id. Some clarity on what this node expects here would be good. Please see image below
-
New parameter nodes - There is now nodes called Parameter.ParameterByName and Parameter.SetValue, whilst the old nodes Element.GetParameterValueByName and Element.SetParameterValue still exist. Are these nodes intended to be made redundant by the new nodes?
-
Revision nodes - A suggestion to update the RevisionCloud.ByCurve node to allow the reverse of the curves fed in to give both options of the normal and inverted cloud display. This could be a boolean toggle or something similar.

Finally but less serious. You’ve created a node to create Text through Dynamo. Its bad enough instructing people not to annotate things with text rather than tags in Revit itself, let alone giving people that functionality in Dynamo
