I made this node so i can isolate (Temporary Isolate Element) certain type of clashes.
For example Walls with Walls, Walls With Floors etc.
But every time i want to change a combination with the Number Slider (INDEX) i have to
Reset Temporary Hide/Isolate manually in Revit first before my nodes works (isolates).
What i really want is that, when i change the Number Slider (INDEX), my view gets reset first
and then the elements get Isolate.
I already have read some of the related topics but i couldnât find an answer there.
I also tried a few thing myself but so far without any succes, so now i turned
to these forums hoping someone can help me.
PS I am still fairly new to Dynamo but i already made a few working graphs (by trail and error)
as i am learning on the job.
I donât wanna be rude, nor do i wanât people to do my work for me,
and i appreciate any help, but as i said i looked at the topics about Passthrough, but i donât get it how to connect it with the Isolate / Restore nodesâŚ
The âwaitforâ input should be the node you want to execute first. The âpassthroughâ input is the input you will give to the node you want to execute second.
The passthrough node will then output exactly the âpassthroughâ input, but will only output it when it receives the both inputs, hence the forced order of operations
Thank you for your reply mellouze, that part i understood tho.
What i donât know is how to connect the View.DisableTemporaryHideIsolate and View.TemporarilyIsolateElement with the Passthrough. Do i connect the view or succes
outputs with it? Because i tried both but then it does not reset they previous âstateâ.
Instead all elements are Temporary hidden. So i guess i am missing somethingâŚ
No, that is not working (i believe i tried it once before doing it like this).
The first time it Isolates the combination (ie. Floors - Floors) i pick with index,
but when i change te slider to pick a new combination (ie. Floors - Walls)
everything seems hidden (i donât see any elements isolated)
Donât know exactly how the nodes you are using are working, but have taken into account that all the nodes that do not depend on the input you are chaging will not be re-evaluated ? (itâs the cas of the node you want to execute first)
You can force the re-evaluation of the nodes by adding a passthrough before the DisableTemporaryHideIsolate, and connect the input you are changing (the slider) to waitFor
I believe i had the same problem with one of my other nodes
(i used to match / re-create a section box). I used the Booleans , == and if to re-evaluate by nodes thereâŚ
I guess i have to re-evaluate the Views too in the Node from this topic(?) I try a similar approach as my MatchSectionBox node.
âŚbut no need for remarks like these. There are still people (very) new to Dynamo (like myself)
and may need a little more help / some futher explanations.
I am trying to sort things out myself as much as possible alreadyâŚ
