its says you don’t have the folder C:\TEST? Please create the folder or put your own folder path
Also make sure when you running the graph your active view is a Sheet or a 3D view.
The graph was tested many time over so it will work.

@4bimfercesp Great Script , Thanks for sharing , I’ve been searching for something like that for a long time.
@manish689246, I used your part for the file path and added another part to search for a keyword in all the views and export all views that contain this keyword.

Dear 4bimfercesp,

I am very glad, that I’ve found your Dynamo node “Any 3D view from a list to NWC” with Python/DesignScript in it.

But I think, there’s an issue or error, so it doesn’t work proper in my opinion.

The behaviour of the node which I could observe and repeat:

“START”
First run: The script starts, NWC files are exportet, everything fine
Second try: The script starts, reports ‘success’ after nearly zero time, but nothing has happened.

Workaround: I disconnect IN[0] or IN[1] of the NWC-Export-node, start a run of the script to provoke a error, then re-connect all inputs of the NWC-Export-node. After that I’m able to start a new run which runs fine and creates NWC files. Once.
And so the circle closes from here on you can jump back to “START” again.

Maybe you feel like to revise your node and tilt this behaviour? Where would it come from?
Maybe you could explain a little bit about your node to the community.

e.g. the Input “IN[2]” … is it a YES/NO choice whether to run the node or not?

Thank you very much in advance, if you’re willing to reply to your very old post.

Michael

Here is my version. The Python-Node “Any 3D view from a list to NWC” is copied from the file “4BimFerCEsp_Nwc3DMultiViewExport_v1.dyn”

(Nodes grouped with color green are defined Inputs for the Dynamo-Player).

I think you will have to publish first and then cache the file in your local drive so you could point the location to the cached file.

18

thank you for your reply - does that mean that cashing the file is done “manually”? can it be done through dynamo?

19

Has anyone got this script to work on more than one file or past the first run?
I seem to be running into this same issue.

You could use the Export NWC in Document node in Genius Loci package which works with a list of views (with longest lacing).

I believe your script does the same thing. Needs an error to make it run
