Think there is one node from Plissken package.
Thanks for the prompt feedback! Thomas, i got my screen to show what you posted, now how to do go about deleting the imported dwgâs. Sorry to be so picky, i just started using Dynamo today! Thanks a million
Also, I would be fine with it deleting ALL imported CAD dwgâs. But if its possible to sort through them and delete selectively, this would also be great to know! Thanks
The script above will in fact delete them all. To be selective go through and review the elements by clicking on the Element Id (green number) in a watch node wired to the lower output of the Bimorph.ReportCadLinks node. This should bring you to a view where you can see them. If not use a select by ID command in Revit and type the green number one by one in there. Once you see it you can choose to delete them manually or to skip them.
Use @Data-Shapes to make them selectively available

Is there anyway you can review my screen shot and let me know where I should go from this stage to delete any or ALL of the imports? Please be as descriptive as possible
@jacob.small
I tried to input the element ID into Revit and it stated the ID couldnât be found, yet when i went into a 3D view and typed VG, i still saw all of my imported Dwgs still there, did I miss something?
Try switching the boolean node so the ReportCADLinks
node refreshes and output an empty list if the imports have been successfully deleted.
Is there any way you can show me what you mean?
Any help is appreciated!!!
Thanks
I already have in my first post. When you connect the CADImports output from the ReportCADLinks
node into the Element.Delete
node, it deletes the Imports. Simple as that. The only other thing I can think of that might be tripping you up is your Dynamo execution mode - check bottom left of the interface. If the button states âManualâ then you need to click the Run button to see any change to the graph.
Thomas, i got it sir, thank you for your patience, i misunderstood your previous comment âTry switching the boolean nodeâ i thought you meant disconnect it and reconnect it.
I actually think you meant to toggle between true and false (on the boolean node) and once i toggled it to true and pressed run and then toggled back to false and hit run, it displayed no imports foundâŚhooray
This however still does not delete the imported dwgâs. The final step however is very straightforward, just run Purge Unused again, and you will notice that your dwgâs are living here, and hit OK
Glad you found the solution. Can you mark the right post as the solution so others can refer to it in the future? Thanks!
Hi everyone, I have been following this and trying to get this to work but am falling at the first hurdle. I cannot seem to find the 'bimorph.reportCADlinks node. I am using Dynamo 1.2.1 on Revit 2015. Would appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks
This is in the bimorph package which can be found in the package manager by searching bimorph
Hi,
After finding all imported DWG-Files, I need two different List:
- first one of unused DWG-Files
- second one with the imported DWG-Files they use in a view
First List to delete all unused DWG-Files in Project
Second List to report the User, where they placed DWG-Files (with DataShapes, thats so cool). Because we need to replace them with a spezific family later.
I use the newest version of bimorphNodes(2.2.2), the node âCAD.ReportInstancesâ get me all "ImportInstance", but how can I find the views where they located?
Thanks for sharing Thomas.
I tried to do the same but ran into this error. Does anyone know how I might correct it?
Hi @daniel.tran have you verified if the path is correct? You will also need to include the file name and its extension: myfamily.rvf
yes thank you. i switched to the file path node now which grabs the rvt extension. however, Iâm not able to generate the detailed lists like you do that mentions âview specificâ and other statuses. It just lists âdictionaryâ and the element ID #s. Do you know how I can generate the same detailed list that you did?
@daniel.tran this is a bug in Dynamo V2.0 unfortunately. If any nodes have []
in the name of their output ports, it prevents the nodes watch window from displaying anything. The only option is to remove these characters. Iâve reported this on the Dynamo GitHub a while back but it doesnât look likely much will change - Iâll instead publish an update to BimorphNodes over the next few days and just remove the characters, but its a bit of nuisance really since they indicate to the user the expected list structure. cc @Michael_Kirschner2.
