Listing all the items in the Drop down box

Developers

Hello all,

Is there a way to list all the items in the Drop down box of certain Nodes (For eg show in the picture) in Dynamo. It would be easy for me to document certain things in the Excel file instead of writing one by one if the list is long.

For instance i tried it for categories using the “ampersand” package in the image shown below.

Hi @Raja,

I’m not sure of any other way other than making your own with Python and the API.

Cheers,
Dan

Hello @Daniel_Woodcock1 ,

Thanks for your reply. I know the basics of Python and have zero knowledge about Revit API so don’t know where to start. I will try my best to learn and do it and in case if I am stuck anywhere in the process I will post it here.

Cheers.

Hi @Raja,

If you have the basics in Python that’s a good start, try having a look in some of the custom nodes that are in some of the 3rd party packaged (like clockwork or rhythm). Also, have a look at some of the following websites…

(Harry mattison also does a Revit API course on udemy but is not free but very good)

These things should get you started, but will take a little determination to learn!

Good luck! :blush:

Cheers,
Dan
