It is working with Code Block. But it is not working inside the python script

Hello,

whats your imput?

i see some syntexstuff vv VV, DraftingView is named differently:

use the template from Primier Dynamo Python.

@auriffbasha.capital it is not that simple to just “Node to Code” nodes and gets them to work in python,
this will get you started:

import clr

clr.AddReference('RevitServices')
import RevitServices

clr.AddReference("RevitAPI")
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *

from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager

doc =  DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument

vType = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(ViewFamilyType).ToElements()

for v in vType:
	if v.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.SYMBOL_NAME_PARAM).AsString() == "Detail":
		vId = v.Id

TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
	
draftV = ViewDrafting.Create(doc, vId)

p0 = XYZ(0,0,0)
p1 = XYZ(5000,0,0)
curve = Line.CreateBound(p0, p1)

dCurve = doc.Create.NewDetailCurve(draftV, curve)   

TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()

OUT = dCurve

@auriffbasha.capital something like this?
P.S.: when you want to mention someone, please use “@” character
