Pack views on sheet changing view's crop region

Packages

Hi

I’m using the ‘Sheet.PackView’ node from the Rhythm package (@john_pierson ) to place views on a sheet. To ensure the views are aligned, I’ve enable ‘Crop Region Visible’ so that all of the views are the same size. However the node appears to turn this off and pack the views as closely as possible. Is there any way around this besides defining my own points and using an alternative node such as Springs’ ‘PlaceViewsOnSheet’?

Hey Paul, I’ll have to take a look. This node was a recreation of the one from the dynamo source code, with the ability to output views that don’t fit. https://github.com/DynamoDS/DynamoRevit/blob/4cc183fb6eb7db13e29cf2d04192df499961a8b9/src/Libraries/RevitNodes/Elements/Views/Sheet.cs

Any chance this will do 3D views in future? :slight_smile:

Hi John, any chance of packing all views, even if they dont all fit? Curiously how did you do the packing? I’ve been trying to figure that out for years. Was it a python bin stacking formula?
