Hello, I seem to be stuck, is there no way to extract all the names of the views associated with every viewport on a sheet in a project? I dont seem to be able to do this. I wan to then change the viewports “Title” parameter to a specific value based on the family type. But I dont see anyway to be able to get the viewports’ Type Name or anything. See below. Thanks!

Not super sure what you are trying to do but I think you want to try something like this. Let me know if this helps or I am not even close. [image]

Hi @Steven_Hansen FYI, Whenever you want to type hint/note in code block hit “Divisional Slash” twice before. [image]

or this (Element.Type from Clockwork) [image]

Is there a way to do this without a sheet schedule? I dont have one?

I dont seem to be able to get all the view ports in the project and select their parameters. when I do it this way I get nothing: [image] But when I do it this way I only get the parameters of the viewport types: What am I doing wrong? [image]

Ok, but what I need to do is to set the viewport type based on the view name: [image] [image]

Also why am I getting an empty list when I try to add the view title to the viewport type? [image]

Ok - that’s a different problem than what i though you were tring to accomplish. Couple of questions: First - View Name is always unique - if you have 20 View you will have 20 unique names - are you going to have 20 Viewport Types? or are you looking to Search the view Names ofr some sub-String and then Set the Viewport Type based on the Substring? Second - Viewport Types have Type Name, not View Name. View Name is and instance parameter of Viewports, and will be read only. This is similar to getting a beam type and asking it what it’s length is - the length is a parameter of the beam instance, not of the beam type. So - what i think you asking for is that you want to read the View Name of the Viewport, look for some substring within that View Name that denotes by some logic which Vieport Type should be used, then switch the Viewport Type of that Viewport.

“So - what i think you asking for is that you want to read the View Name of the Viewport, look for some substring within that View Name that denotes by some logic which Vieport Type should be used, then switch the Viewport Type of that Viewport.” Yes! Yes, I want to set the viewport based on the substring of the view name. But how do I access the view name parameter of the viewport? Even if it is read only, I cant get it to give me any results.
