Export to DWG with Genius Loci Export DWG in document

Hi,

I have put a graph together following other posts in the forum to export all sheets.
If i connect a node to Export setup i get error as shown, if i don’t connect anything to this input , will have no errors, but nothing happens ( no dwgs in the folder )

Hi,

We cannot help you with such few informations. We do not have access to your input, so we cannot say if the problem comes from what you are feeding the node.

As the error suggest it, you may are feeding a wrong type of input to the node. But again, no way to know…

You can try to contact the authour of the package, @Alban_de_Chasteigner.

Hope this helps,

Hi @Hoss,

Just create a list of an item with the ExportDWGSetting.
The list of ExportDWGSettings is useful when you export DWGs from multiple documents at once.

Thank you very much, its all working now

Hi @Alban_de_Chasteigner,

Sorry for replying back under this post, I got similar issue.
I’m just wondering if it works for getting DWG from couple of projects in the background?
I tried, but it only creates DWG from one of the projects.
I think the problem is with Export set up. the list is empty, but i can’t find my mistake.
I appreciate if you could have a look to see what the problem is.
Also, I’m just wondering from what package I can get “PassThrough” node.

Thanks much!

Hi Eli,

PassThrough comes from the great package Clockwork.
The ExportSetup input is optional so the issue doesn’t come from that.

If the Revit files are localized on BIM 360 or OneDrive, it could be the problem.
When I watch your screenshot, the Sheets and ExportDWGSettings aren’t found in your Revit Files.

Hi @Alban_de_Chasteigner,

Thanks much for your help :slight_smile: .

I kept trying and the issue is when I give a directory with only one Revit file, the script works perfect (I did tried it for the files in here). However, if I give a directory with more than one Revit file, it creates only dwg from one of them. I give directory from my local drive.
I can’t figure out what the problem is. I give similar script to read directory for my other scripts.

I really appreciate if you could have a look.

Thanks much

Hello everyone,
Would anyone be so kind to take a look and try to help why this dwg export scheme doesn’t work? For starters I’m just trying to export anything. It gives no errors or anything. It completes the run way too fast and ofcourse there is nothing exported.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @marcel.kufersin,

Welcome on the Dynamo Forum.
Be sure to have the IronPython2.7 package installed to use custom Python nodes in Dynamo for Revit 23.

Hi @Alban_de_Chasteigner,

Thanks for the welcome. I beleive I have the correct versions.

Indeed for the DynamoIronPython2.7.
Your Genius Loci version is one year old.
There is a list level difference between the view (a list that contains an item) and the view name (an item). You can replace the string with Element.Name connected to the view and see if it works better.

That didn’t work. But I found that I can choose which python version I can use for the exporter. It was set to cpython3 by default. I changed it to IronPython2 and it works now.
