Identify the view that area boundary lines are placing on

Hello everyone,

I just got a warning of one area boundary. Although I have the id but cannot know which view name the line is placing on? Does anyone have an idea on it? Thank you so much in advance

@tranduytankts ,

i would rather access the warnings and the element… so you will get placement a.s.o.

Hi, thank you for your answer. I have extracted ID and selected the area boundary lines. But the question is which area view that lines are placing on. Because I have quite lots of area views with different area types as well in my model

@tranduytankts ,

just grap the workplane… in the case of modellines it will apear in any view…

Hi, I have tried it but unfortunately, it still didn’t work. I have quite some minor warnings regarding area boundary lines. But I cannot identify which view it is placed.

@tranduytankts ,

snoop out your model curve with

x.Parameters #paste to codeblock

get the real name of the placing methode

If i remember right there are some parameter difference between an areaboundery line and a real modelline…not sure element ownerview could help here…im not in revit in the moment but will try later

allright try this one here from Rhythm it could probably work…

Thank you for your help. I don’t know if Rhythm later version would be better but I just tried with Rhythm in Revit 2020. The node went to each plan view and inspect if the line is there. So with a common project with hundreds views, it would take few hours just to check one line.

Yeah you are probably right, dont node how that node is created…but have tried how fast it is ? vs find them manuelly

but another issue is if the the line is hidden

yeah, I did went to each area view but still could not find the line. The line might be hidden or it is out of crop box. That’s why I am trying to detect the view it is placed on.

There many nodes for find out if something is hidden i like use archilab for that and for unhide as well…btw seems rhythm node find them even outside boundery, but not if hidden…so i would try first test if they are hidden or not if hidden then unhide them…

yeah, might be I have to go to each area view and find it. Anw, thank you for your support sir.

Unfortunately, I have tried your code block. Unfortunately, there are no parameter for placed view.

dont know how to find out what view the boundery lines are drawn in but an alternative idea is geting the areas in the project and getting the boundery lines from them (you will get the as curve with positions.) if you can do the same with the boundary lines you get from warning you can compare these in dynamo and find matching positions and that way you get which area plan they are on since you can find out which views the Areas are on.

just an idea not sure its easier or harder.
