Move View to another Sheet

Revit
3

Hey Ewan,

Thanks for the Reply. I had not seen your post on that thread.

I pulled out the python code and it seems to be working. Do you know what package the code came from? I know Rhythm has one but it was not working for me (I think I had a view that was placed in my list going to check on that now).

To place a View onto another sheet one must first delete the viewport (not the view). See image below.

Here is the python code from Ewan script (provided in the link above). Looks like it was originally written by @Julien_Benoit1

doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
uiapp = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentUIApplication
app = uiapp.Application
uidoc=DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentUIApplication.ActiveUIDocument

sheets = []
for i in IN[0]:
sheets.append(UnwrapElement(i))
views=[]
for i in IN[1]:
views.append(UnwrapElement(i))
points=[]
for i in IN[2]:
points.append(UnwrapElement(i).ToXyz())

# Start Transaction
TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
viewp=[]
for s,v,p in zip(sheets,views,points):
a=Viewport.Create(doc, s.Id,v.Id, p)
viewp.append(a)

# End Transaction
TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()

OUT=viewp

Thanks, Ewan for the lead,
