Get Sheet ID and SHeet name from View

Revit
1

Trying to get Python to give me the #Sheet Number or #SHEET_NUMBER / Name with
VID = view object…

	SNUM=VID.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.SHEET_NUMBER)
	#SNAME=VID.get_ParameterValueByName(BuiltInParameter.SHEET_NAME)

But the darn thing won’t fly. I can get the same effect in a #Codeblock

I tried similar approaches and kept getting the same result. This post on the Autodesk forums was never fully solved so not sure how to fix it.

If you really need it done in Python, the alternative is to import dynamo nodes into python and use the same flow in your codeblock, as shown below:

sheetname

import clr
# Import Element wrapper extension methods
clr.AddReference('RevitNodes')
import Revit
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.Elements)

# Import RevitAPI
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
import Autodesk
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
import System
clr.AddReference('DSCoreNodes') #Imports Dynamo Nodes into Python
from DSCore import *

if isinstance(IN[0], list):
objList = UnwrapElement(IN[0])
else:
objList = [UnwrapElement(IN[0])]

OUT = []
for obj in objList:
    if hasattr(obj, "OwnerViewId"):
        VID = obj.Document.GetElement(obj.OwnerViewId)
        Vname = VID.Name
        DVID = VID.ToDSType(True)
        SNUM = DVID.GetParameterValueByName("Sheet Number")
        SNAME = DVID.GetParameterValueByName("Sheet Name")
        PVAL = obj.Text

        OUT.append((SNUM, SNAME, VID, Vname, PVAL))

I didn’t add in an else condition so you will have to put it in.

Reasonable approximation with Codeblocks to shore up the gaps…

You also need to add the add reference and import for DSCoreNodes, as that allows you to use Dynamo nodes inside Python (using design script syntax).

Update to PY: *Not sure about the PVAL=Obj,name in the end but… for 2.0:
