Dynamo Player Inputs not working

Hello Forum

I am struggling with getting the inputs in my graph to come up in Dynamo Player. I am on the latest release of Revit 2024.2. Has anyone experienced this or can offer some advise? I have tested two different graphs and on one they have finally started working but the one attached I cannot get the ‘Is Input’ to show up. The main node I need is the Directory Path node input. Thank you for any help.

Can you show us an image (or better yet, a gif) of the issue you’re having. I cannot recreate it.

Hi Nick

Thank you for this. This is very odd, please see below my Dynamo Player when opening this graph:

I have tried opening and closing many times. The other file I was working with didnt work for ages, then they suddenly appeared. Any thoughts very welcome.

Thanks
Tim

Remove all Revit addins and try again. Something could be interfering with one of the Dynamo Player dlls. Otherwise you may have to reinstall Revit.

@LilliSmith any ideas?

Try adding a watch node to canvas and set it as an output.

My hypothesis is that the input and output section of your graph needs to be forced to refresh.

Could be. I did add an output node before running the graph.

Hi Jacob

Yes that worked! I added the watch node at the end and as an Output as you suggested. Thank you!

Thank you all for your help.

I had a similar issue, my simple Select Model Elements node wouldn’t show up as input.
I attached a Watch Node and set it as output.

Then it showed up in Dynamo Player and I removed the node again and the Input disappeared again…

So strange that it requires a useless node to properly work

I wonder why this is the new behavior. We were able to select inputs thru the player without a “Watch” node before. But as others have mentioned adding one allows you to input the missing pieces via player.

The way the player looks for serialized content differed, and so adding the watch node forces the proper serialization. Once added I think you can save, then reopen and remove (might be wrong in this one).
