How to turn off Viewport Titles?

Revit
1

Hey,

So I want to auto turn off viewport labels…

I’m really struggling to get hold of the built in parameter values, I’m trying a few different nodes, but they just aren’t giving values… I can see that they exist, but no values!

Would anyone be able to help me understand why?

Thanks,

Mark

Viewport labels? I am not sure I know what that is, but I will make a guess that you are asking about turning off the Viewport Titles:

If that’s indeed the case, then the easiest way would be to make a Viewport Type that hides the title. For example:

Once you have that ready, you would want to change the Viewport Type for the selected Viewports like this:

    return map( lambda x: ProcessList(_func, x) if type(x)==list else _func(x), _list )

def ProcessListArg(_func, _list, _arg):
    return map( lambda x: ProcessListArg(_func, x, _arg) if type(x)==list else _func(x, _arg), _list )

def Unwrap(item):
	return UnwrapElement(item)

def ChangeViewportType(vp, newVp):
	vp.ChangeTypeId(newVp.Id)
	return vp

if isinstance(IN[0], list):
	viewports = ProcessList(Unwrap, IN[0])
else:
	viewports = [Unwrap(IN[0])]

vpName = IN[1]

try:
	errorReport = None
	allVp = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfCategory(BuiltInCategory.OST_Viewports).ToElements()
	validTypeIds = allVp[0].GetValidTypes()
	validTypes = []
	for i in validTypeIds:
		validTypes.append(doc.GetElement(i))
	selectedVp = next((x for x in validTypes if x.ToDSType(True).Name == vpName), None)
	TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
	output = ProcessListArg(ChangeViewportType, viewports, selectedVp)
	TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()
except:
	import traceback
	errorReport = traceback.format_exc()

if errorReport == None:
	OUT = output
else:
	OUT = errorReport

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

Hello, I am trying to switch off viewports title in legend. Somehow it does not want to work. It only switches titles of sheet views but not for legends??? :frowning_face:
Thanks a lot

Is the Sheets.Viewports node giving you the legends?

No, but I have found an intermediate solution. When sheets are still empty and only legends are placed, it works perfectly.
Thanks
