Hi all, I am fairly new to Dynamo, but learning everyday! I can’t understand why this seemingly simple task isn’t working. I’ve tried two techniques: The Document.Views node from Clockwork package and the Delete Elements node from Archi-lab-Grimshaw package. This results in no views being delet…

Try the following instead: [image]

Jumbo size that bad boy then hit the BOOM button (aka delete node, for those less bombastic amoungst us)

Thanks for your reply. I just tried your method but the Delete Elements didn’t delete any views in the Revit model. Is it possible that there is an issue with the Delete Elements node input says “Elements”? Is there some sort of conversion I need to do to the items in the flattened list? Pardon my …

Some of those views probably can’t be deleted.

It didn’t seem to delete any views whatsoever.

You need a list.clean at the end. I can post a screenshot later. *List.clean after the flatten. With a false on preserve indices.

you CANNOT delete all views from Revit model. There is a restriction that won’t allow you to delete all of them. Now, leave at least one out of the deletion process and you will be fine. I guess.

This worked! Thank you so much. Yes, it totally makes sense that you cannot delete all views, I just wish there was some sort of error message.

How do you add 1 more view to that list2? I tried 2 views with ++, but it didn’t work. Also did try list.create.

Ok, sorry it works somehow. List.create didn’t work at first, but when I restarted dynamo it worked.

Actually is so easy to delete all views inside Revit: go to your View Schedule, don’t itemize every item, so that you only have one row with no text in it, click on that row, and click delete! You will delete all views in the model with a single click.
