Hi guys, kept searching the internet for this but couldn’t find much Dyn-ready info.
(i found that in pyth you can emulate mouse drag - but don’t know how to push that into Dynamo)
The idea is that i work with nested families and this is not going to change and it is not up to me etc.
The “first” family contains the 3d of the object and the “second” nested family has the 2d symbol.
The only way Dynamo sees the “object” - is by seeing the 3d symbol. (“first” family) of the device,
it does not see the 2d symbol geometry (“second”, nested family) AT ALL.
Not even if i check the “Shared” box in the nested family - still does not see the geometry and cannot select it)
I know this cause I tried using some nodes to get elements at location / intersect area and if the 2d symbol is moved away from the 3d then it will not get it.
What i would want to do is have Dyn be able to “click” select at a specified point / “drag box” by providing 2 points.
I can see there is this:
PickBox(PickBoxStyle) Invokes a general purpose two-click editor that lets the user to specify a rectangular area on the screen.
Problem is i really have no idea as to how to use it (still looking at tutorials for using Revit API) let alone give it 2 points instead of using the mouse as i assume that is the intended manner of use.
I find it strange i could not find this request so far.
This will be used to generate wires from detail lines , more specifically to get the device to connect the wire to by having revit select the device really close the the end points of the wire.
