I found this topic once placing Elevation Marker and have the face a certain direction (i’ll try to find the original topic. It uses this Python, but sometimes one Elevation Marker faces the wrong direction. Any idea why? @c.poupin maybe? import clr import System from System.Collections.Generic i…

To add. After i moved my Scope Boxes it does face the right direction :exploding_head:. This isn’t a solution though. [image] EDIT Revit 2025.

Here is a solution that uses the newly created elevation’s view direction by comparing it to the (midLine → center) vector. [image] import clr import System from System.Collections.Generic import List clr.AddReference("System.Core") clr.ImportExtensions(System.Linq) # Add Revit API References c…
