FamilyInstance.ByPointinView - Multiple Family Types

[Robert_Younger]

Hello all,

Attempting to use FamilyInstance.ByPointInView to place multiple families on a single view.
I have been able to successfully provide a single Family Type as input, as the next step in progression I wanted to provide a list of Family Types containing multiple families, so that each point has a corresponding, relevant family.

The base family is Generic Annotation and contains multiple types.

For some reason, the node is only utilizing the first familytype on the list. I have tried a few other list level combinations, they generally return null or only place a single family instance. I’m not particularly good at coding, so I haven’t gotten around to trying to alter the embedded python script.

Thanks,

Hello @Robert_Younger,
I am not sure if works, but my first instinct is to Try using lacing - cross product for latest node.

I was able to achieve some success with this process here. Try changing your lacing and flattening your points going into the family instance node.
Hope This Helps!

Breaking down the list structure on the Drafting View input with a GetItematIndex did it.

Thank you!
