Dynamo archilab printing


Any ideas why this script doesn’t work??
it just completes the run without doing anything

Probably need to get the views from the viewset, not the viewset itself.

From archilab also…

Are you sure this is in archilab? I cannot find it

Is for me, maybe removed in newer builds. If not im pretty sure genius loci or clockwork have a functionally similar node.

that worked so far, thanks
but it is telling me invalid filename

You’ll need a unique file name per view i think.


very sorry for the trouble, now it is giving me a weird error

It may be a product of your list lacing on the FilenameToFilePaths. Yours is currently set to shortest, which will only produce one item, whereas you need ten.


Also I’m not sure if you do actually want to combine the PDF’s into a single document, or save them as individual PDF’s. At the moment it is combining into a single PDF (if I understand the node correctly).

How was your Print PDF node modified? Could you share the Python code? I’ve been struggling with this also. We may have 100 assemblies for precast elements that we are making shop drawings for and some have 2 pages. I would like to select multiple sheet sets and print them all to a one or two page PDF file with the assemblies name as the file name. I feel it shouldn’t be that hard. Or perhaps it’s older versions of the packages?
