I create while loop for creating Rebar.FreeForm but was shown with AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'StrongBoxStructure' error

When I run these code its shown AttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘StrongBoxStructure’ what system did I forget to import? or Is there a mistake among those line of code of my?

RebarFreeFormValidationResult is listed under Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure:

so where XR1 and XR2 are defined in your code, you do not need to use “clr.StrongBoxStructure”

3

I already imported Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure but this error still remain. I should change my XR1 and XR2 to = RebarFreeFormValidationResult? XR1 is on this code line

rebar1 = Structure.Rebar.CreateFreeForm.Overloads[Document, RebarBarType, Element, IList[IList[Curve]], RebarFreeFormValidationResult](doc, number9, number10, line1, XR1)
4 
def line(number1, number2, number3, number4, number5, number6, number7, number9, number10):
	XR1 = RebarFreeFormValidationResult
	XR2 = RebarFreeFormValidationResult

ie. under your function definition statement, if you want to track the result in these two variables.

@habdirad After I try to fixed it shown something that I confused is that after I run these code it shown these error

TypeError: No match found for the method signature CreateFreeForm[Document, RebarBarType, Element, IList1, RebarFreeFormValidationResult]. Expected [Document, RebarBarType, Element, IList1, RebarFreeFormValidationResult&], [Document, RebarBarType, Element, IList`1, RebarFreeFormValidationResult&]

How do I get RebarFreeFormValidationResult& While my input is RebarFreeFormValidationResult?

I am not familiar with this form of picking overloads (my guess is it does not work because of all the wrappers around .Net and Revit API interfaces), I am not familiar with the StrongBox interface either. However, the following solution worked for me; ie. without passing RebarFreeFormValidationResult as an input, you will receive it as the second output of the rebar creator method (first output is the Rebar element).

import clr

clr.AddReference('ProtoGeometry')
from Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry import *


clr.AddReference("RevitNodes")
import Revit
from Revit.Elements import *


clr.AddReference('RevitServices')
import RevitServices

doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument

clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
clr.AddReference('RevitAPIUI')

clr.AddReference("RevitServices")
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager

clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')

from Autodesk.Revit.DB import Curve as RCurve
from Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure import *

clr.AddReference("RevitNodes")
import Revit
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.Elements)
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.GeometryConversion)

import System.Array
from System.Collections.Generic import *

doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
host = UnwrapElement(IN[0])

curve = IN[1][0].ToRevitType()

rebarbartype = UnwrapElement(IN[2])[0]

carray = [System.Array[RCurve]([curve])]

carray2 = System.Array[System.Array[RCurve]](carray)

TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)

rebar1, XR1 = Rebar.CreateFreeForm(doc, rebarbartype, host,carray2)

TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()

OUT = rebar1, XR1

Thank you so much let me try to understand ur coding procedure first and try to make some change so that it compatible with my current code. Is IN[1][0] is meaning same as curve1 = IN[1] and curve2 = IN[2]?

:grin:

found it! use this one:

rebar1 = Rebar.CreateFreeForm(doc, rebarbartype, host,carray2,clr.StrongBox[RebarFreeFormValidationResult]())

and if you want to store it in a variable, pass it your XR1 and XR2:

XR1 = clr.StrongBox[RebarFreeFormValidationResult]()
rebar1 = Rebar.CreateFreeForm(doc, rebarbartype, host,carray2,XR1)

ur carray2 is curve right? maybe I have to take a few hour to make understand hahahaha I quite new to python in dynamo

@habdirad what is [0] used for? I never add [0] behind so I didnt hv a clue for what it does and how it affect code as a whole.
