Export images with one view

[A.C]

I used the changeable bounding box to adject the section box, and export images. I do got several images, but the images were all the same. I want each iamges match different bounding boxs. What did I miss here?

I’m guessing it’s because you’re trying to change the bounding box in the same transaction. The bounding box won’t update until the transaction has been committed. You can try pulling the image export portion of the code outside the transaction, but you may have to wrap this inside a custom node and use list levels.

Manipulating section box and export view as images

Well, I thought you wanted to use manual sliders for scaling the bbox. If you want to pass in a list of numbers, you will need a document regeneration mechanism, which means Revit has to refresh its database before exporting the images. You may find doc regenerate nodes, but if you could not, right after the watch node, before exporting the images, add a python node and write the below code [Capture] I tested this with this sample result, so each image is different.

The regenerate node solved my problem.
