Filter Element from Linked Model only if visible in active view

Revit

It’s seem related to the Element binding process
2 ways to solve:

  • use Dynamo Player
  • close and re-open the dyn file in Dynamo UI

I’ve tried your script on section, but it doesn’t work:

Hi @PiotrB

The code work only for FloorPlan, I’ll look when I have a little more time, but you can get inspiration from this code

Here an updated code for ViewPlans and SectionViews

Hey, your Python code works for a single view. When it got a list o views there is an error:

You’ll need to append a loop into the code. something like for view in views: and then offset the rest of the actions in that section below it.
