I do hope with you that the 2022 version will resolve the issues.
There might be some confusion so to make clear: I am not against binding as a mechanism. Session based binding is great. Geometry that updates while you are finetuning the graph is perfect. I wrote hundreds of nodes in C# and they all are hooked up to the binding mechanism. The issue here is the forced persistancy and especially the binding data saving in the graph. As a user I want the option to lose the connection when I’m done finetuning. And I am not convinced the binding data should belong to the graph, unless the graph is inseparable connected to one drawing.
So, if the develop team decide that the binding belongs to the graph, make it optional at least. I am not alone in this. Just do a search on ‘element binding’, ‘disappear’, and so on. Just reread this topic and you see others struggle with this too. Just a few other topics about this:
Hi;
I’m new to dynamo and this might be a stupid question but I can’t seem to find the answer anywhere.
I have a definition for making walls in Revit out of curves. Each time I select new curves and hit run it updates the new walls in revit deleting the previous ones.
Is there a way to avoid this?
A way I can sort of un-link the dynamo definition so each time I ran it it starts from scratch and creates new walls without deleting the previous ones?
Thanks a lot, any help would be apreciat…
Hi,
I have problem with sheets created by using script. The script create sheets with 3 views of selected wall. Everything works but when the script is rerun created sheet disaaper (view section stay but disappear from sheets). I know that there are some similar topic but they don’t work or I don’t understand them. I read abut refresh nodes but I don’t know how to use it.

I will be gratefull for your help.
Interesting to know how this works exactly…
Dynamo really should have a switch to turn bindings on and off in the active script, for when you DO want to create new elements each time.
In the meantime, would it possible to make ‘Clear Binding’ node that if used in a .dyn will will clear out all the binding data from the active .dyn before or after each run?
Today I discovered two strange behaviors of the Dynamo Player in Civil 3D and I assume they are bugs. I hope anyone can confirm this.
A test script is added: Test_3Dpoly.dyn (15.6 KB)
It places simple texts along a curve that you select.
Case 1: I start the Player and edit the input. I can select a polyline and the script places texts next to it as seen below:

When I select a second (shorter) line and run the script again, it does not remove all of the previous placed texts, as see…
I’m having major problems with Element Binding.
I’ve got a graph that creates a new Level and all of the different Views (Floor Plan, Demo plan, Furniture Plan, etc) that we need for that Level.
The problem is that if I run it twice, it deleted the Level it created in the first run, and changes it to what should have been the second value.
a.) Because of Element Binding, it makes it extremely difficult to debug
b.) I though that running it through the Player forced it to NOT use element bind…
Hi,
I’m experiencing a weird bug (?) with one of my .dyn-files, where element bindings appears to be stored between Dynamo sessions. That means that when I run the graph in a new session, Dynamo removes
As I understand it, element bindings should be cleared between sessions?
Is there anything typical maneuvers that could be causing Dynamo to remember bindings between sessions?
My graph is used to create new/update existing elements based on an excel sheet, and the only “stored” information i…
Is there an easy way to run a dynamo definition multiple times and have it write new element Id’s and not over write the old ones? I am placing CW panels by points on 2 towers and each time I write it removes the other tower panels. I get that in some cases you would want to edit the element that you just created but how do you remove the connection between dynamo and the element created?
Thanks
