Hello Dynamo Cummunity :slightly_smiling_face: I have 2 identical PlanViews on a sheet, view left has been rotatet. I would like to rotate view right by the same angle that view left has been rotatet. [image] After searching the forum i found a python script for rotating views. [im…

What does work perfect is if the view has a rotation: [image] This view has a rotation and it is applied correctly to another view. So the problem case is if a view has no rotation, but the cropbox is not horizontal…it seems…

I just figured out what the Problem is. Before you can read out the Rotation Angle of a view you have to use the function Reset Crop! [image] Now i just have to find out how to do that in dynamo. Here you can see a View without a rotation that gives me a “false” rotation. After resetting crop i…
