Get Crop Box Rotation

1

Anyone know how I would get the Crop box rotation of one view and apply it to another?

I can get the crop region (with the rotated boundary) from one view and apply to another but I can’t rotate the actual view to match the crop region. Not sure what I am missing, maybe @Kulkul or someone can help.

Python:

# Enable Python support and load DesignScript library
import clr
clr.AddReference('ProtoGeometry')
from Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry import *
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
clr.AddReference("RevitServices")
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument

# Functions.
def tolist(_list):
	if isinstance(_list,list):
		return UnwrapElement(_list)
	else:
		return [UnwrapElement(_list)]
		

# The inputs to this node will be stored as a list in the IN variables.
getviews = tolist(IN[0])
setviews = tolist(IN[1])

# Start Transaction
TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)

for getview, setview in zip(getviews, setviews):
	# Get crop shape from first view
	getCropManager = getview.GetCropRegionShapeManager()
	getShape = getCropManager.GetCropShape()[0]
	# Enable cropbox on second view
	setview.CropBoxActive = True
	setview.CropBoxVisible = True
	# Set crop shape on second view
	setCropManager = setview.GetCropRegionShapeManager()
	setCropManager.SetCropShape(getShape)


# End Transaction
TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()


# Assign your output to the OUT variable.
OUT = "success"

In one of the Building Coder’s example, he would manually rotate the cropview element but that requires knowing the rotation first, which I don’t know how I would get reliably.
