Floor Type from the Room - Problem - Deleting the previous created floor

Revit

1

Hello everyone,

I created really simple script to create floor from the room. I choose “select element in Model” as input for Dynamo Player. The script creates floor on the first run. At the second run when I want to select another room, Dynamo deletes the previous created floor. Even if i close Dynamo and run again he is gonna deleted the previous created one.

How to resolve this problem? Thank you in advance for your reply.

Hi,

I’ll repeat myself, hopefully @jacob.small doesn’t mind. That all sounds like element binding.
Take a look at this post to understand it better.

Also take a look at @john_pierson’s video, it explains it and provides a solution:

Hope this helps.

I guess here just replace floor.byoutline with a fresh one from your library and probably room finish boundery as well… then save dont run…and should work…but as @Josip.Komadina mention …element binding :wink:

Run it from Dynamo Player (or other 3rd party solution) and it will work as expected. I believe there are some Dynamo extensions that you can use to mange this as well if you want to stay in Dynamo.

Hello guys,

Thank you all for your replies :)…

I did the following and it worked:

  1. Made a script again from the skratch but this time didn’t select room from the node “Select Model Element by Category” from Dynamo. I save and close the Dynamo script.
  2. Open Dynamo Player and from Player everything was running very good.

Have a nice evening…
