How to make single input dynamo scripts to multiple inputs?

Revit

Hi all,
I have created a large script for creating shop drawing (Revit sheets). Its was made for generating single sheet. changing it to generate multiple sheets involves lot of lacing changes and its killing my head. Is there any easy way to make it for multiple sheets?

Generally depends on how your script is set up.

Python loops are good for repeating stuff.

No need for Python here - overkill for most situations.

  1. Turn the contents into a custom node by highlighting everything except for the inputs then right clicking and select “create custom node”. Then in the custom node environment remove ay excess outputs, and setup the inputs to take the correct data type and structure. Save the custom node and close it.

  2. Do a save as on the graph, and take the original selection method and alter it to gather multiple items. Test the custom node for the multiple items, adjusting list levels/lacing or the input data structure as desired/needed.

  3. If others will use the custom node, generate a package form it and deploy it locally or via the Dynamo package manager.

I am the perfect solution - :snake:

If that were true then more evolutionary branches would lead to snake… :crab: wins.
