Hello,
I am creating 3D views in Revit and trying to orient them to each section view in the project. I am trying with the attached Dynamo graph.
It orients the 3D views fine but I cannot crop it out (front/back and top/bottom/left/right) to show the exact region.
Orient To View.dyn (13.6 KB)
Hi @theshysnail, try to use the View CropBox node from the GeniusLoci package, it works well on slanted sections as well:
@theshysnail which version of Revit/ Dynamo you are using? If you notice that the node I am using is ViewS.SetCropBox, and it is working perfectly from my side…
Oh, you’re using the custom node from archi-lab. It works now. Thanks a lot.
I’m wondering if you can help me resolve this problem with the list iteration.
import clr
clr.AddReference('ProtoGeometry')
from Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry import *
#Import ToDSType(bool) extension method
clr.AddReference("RevitNodes")
import Revit
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.Elements)
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.GeometryConversion)
#Import DocumentManager and TransactionManager
clr.AddReference("RevitServices")
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager
from System.Collections.Generic import *
#Import RevitAPI
clr.AddReference("RevitAPI")
import Autodesk
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import ReferencePointArray
view = UnwrapElement(IN[0])
vector = IN[1].ToRevitType()
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
uiapp = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentUIApplication
app = uiapp.Application
TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
#apply lineweight override to elements in an input list
view.OrientTo(vector)
# "End" the transaction
TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()
OUT = doc.ActiveView
Created another post for the list input issue.
Hey, I just noticed the orientation/section box is quite off and does not seem right for any 3D views. Any help?
