Basically I want all generic annotations form a (drafting) view. Found these and strung them together- but not seeing why this isn’t returning generic annotations. Sample file and DYN attached. Lambda is some kind of magic I don’t fully grasp yet. and the system predicate- heck this whole line is …

FYI, the reason why it wasn’t working to start with is that you can’t use the FEC to get Types in a View because the Symbol doesn’t exist IN a view, but the instance of that symbol does. So, this code is a small tweak to the original that gets instances, then gets and checks their Type. import clr…

Try this using a category filter instead of the FindAll. import clr import System import System.Collections.Generic from System.Collections.Generic import List clr.AddReference('RevitAPI') from Autodesk.Revit.DB import * clr.AddReference("RevitServices") import RevitServices from RevitServices.P…

Thanks @SeanP for explaining : ) Still trying to re-wrap my head around Python after being out of it for 5 years.

Yes, there are several different way to do something, and then you throw the transition from IP2 and CP3 in the mix and it gets even more convoluted. And as always, the Revit API doesn’t always make sense to me either! Good luck!

@SeanP Simple question: Why is the […] required? for the syntax in CPython3: OUT = [x.Name for x in FilteredElementCollector(doc,viewDraft.Id).OfCategory(BuiltInCategory.OST_GenericAnnotation).WhereElementIsNotElementType()] How is python treating the brackets? […] Creates a list is a list (or …

Brackets in this case is starting list comprehension. Syntax is as follows: [ actionOn(item) for item in largerList if filteronItem ] It’s basically a pythonic way to do a for loop without having to add all the extra lines. We covered this a bit in in the Snakes on a (Dynamo) Plane community conv…
