How to extract Viewport outline/bounding box

Developers

I am trying to extract the crop outlines on a series of viewports. Since the get View.ViewportBoxCenter node from steamnode allows me extract the center point, i believe there should be away to extract the bounding box form manipulation in dynamo to properly space views on sheets. I replaced the loc.append(v.GetBoxCenter()) with GetBoxOutline, that way i was able to extract the Autodesk.Revit.DB.Outline. I am a “python noob” so i am not sure how to move forward.

Thanks.

You can get the maxpoint and minpoint from the Ouline with the MaximumPoint and MinimumPoint Properties.

To convert it to dynamo point do something like this:
v.GetBoxOutline().MaximumPoint.ToPoint(True)
