I have a revit family with double horizontal flip control.
But I cannot find any button in dynamo to flip.
I found something within the clockwork package, but it doesn’t work.
check out these topices
Hei Andreas,
I’m not sure what to do with these.
I’m not a super advanced dynamo user, not scripting. Just using the existing buttons.
It is not a handrail or wall, just a generic model family that I want to flip. preferably with a yes/no boolean.
Clockwork has nodes for this if memory serves. Just get the latest version for your Dynamo build (2 or 3) and you should be all set.
I tried the clockwork node, but it doesn’t work. I don’t know why. Also, that node doesn’t have a boolean yes/no.
Archilab have sine nodes for that as Well you could try
I also tried the wall flip node from clockwork, still nothing happens to the wall either.
The blue element is how the flipped generic model should be.
Be sure you have the right Python package installed
thank you. Again, I’m not an advanced user. Could you give me a hint how to find that out?
there are several Archilab packages. Which one do you mean?
Yeah whitch revit version are you in ?
Revit 2024
Btw guess clockwork works if it is Wall you wanna flip
no, the wall flip doesn’t work either.
But it is not a wall that I want to flip
Did you install the IronPython2 package for your Dynamo version? If not you get this behavior.

Ok then be sure you have dynamo ironpython package 2.7 version 2.5 installed

Hm, I’ll check. (I installed it a while ago)
But is it really true that there is no default flip node in dynamo? just like pressing spacebar in revit?
Not as far I know
None out of the box, and considering it only gets asked for once every 2 years there doesn’t seem to be much demand that the packages don’t cover.
One of the first things new users need to learn (and sadly there isn’t much on the topic) is building their Dynamo environment with the right packages for their Dynamo version and context.
