Element.SetName not working as expected

[GJax89]

Hi All!

I am having an issue with getting Element.SetName to work the way I want. I am trying to rename Object Styles, and My list is coming up as the Fail output, with an empty success.

Here is what I have so far:

Any direction is greatly appreciated!

Your graph looks pretty messy (i.e. difficult to understand.)

Maybe you want to clean it up optically and / or post the script?

Cheers,

Hi Matt,

I added the dynamo script to the original post, Sorry for it being muddy, I’m pretty new still.

Thanks!

Looks like it didnt upload before for some reason, I have corrected that and the script is in the post.

If you want to clean your script up visually, just hit CTRL + L.
It may not look amazing, but it will certainly be easier to follow than what it looks like now.

Can you do that and repost a screenshot?

Not sure why you are mapping so many things. I think it is probably easiert to just boolean mask your way to a filtered list. I would have done it like this:

I couldn’t open your script. It told me it was corrupted.

Other than that, I think you may generally run into issues trying to change the names of graphicstyles in Revit. Apparently it isn’t supported?

Changing names of GraphicStyle

Hey community small dynamo question from someone just getting my feet wet. How would someone rename the line styles and annotation symbols in their project? Example: “xxx – Thin Lines” –> “Thin Lines – xxx” I have been able to do this with family names, but having some issues with line styles and annotation symbols. Really appreciate any help.

Thank you for your assistance @m.owens! I tried searching here but must have missed those topics, I’ll do some more research and see if maybe a workaround is possible with Python script nodes. If I find a solution I will post it here.

Did you figure it out?

Have you leveraged the power of CTRL+L?

[GJax89]

I never figured it out. I am onto a new problem though. I did finally use the might of CTRL+L haha.
