Initially on creating a script we can run that once and for repeated runs in different place We use dynamo player, Now the Dynamo player is also running only once and on next run the elements created disappears. Is this an Issue, faced by any others?

@dineshsubramani ,

That sounds not good. Can your script or more about what it is doing? We don’t see this happening with any of our samples like create levels for example. What version of Revit are you using?

Copy the entire script into a new script workspace and save it with another name. I believe this has to do with elements binding.

I agreee with Jamie,

This sounds like element binding, which is a great feature if you know it exists and how to use it. Otherwise its just confusing and heartbreaking…

Jacob did a really good post about it here;

> [@Element Binding in Revit](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/element-binding-in-revit/31612):

> Element binding is the name given to the process which Dynamo manage to ‘track’ the items created in non-Dynamo files. In this case, I’m going to focus entirely on element binding as it refers to Dynamo for Revit, but the mechanism exists to allow for this behavior in other applications (advanced steel, fusion, alias, etc.) as well. In the context of Revit, ‘elements’ refers to anything with an Element ID in the Revit database. When utilized correctly, element binding will expand how you leverag…

Pretty much 100% certainty it is element binding. Check the post which was linked above for info on how to clear the bindings and then once they elate cleared out only run the graph via Dynamo player.
