Hi Dynamo community, I am trying to place filled regions on a sheet (legend) but I have no clue unfortunatelly. Any Ideas? Thanks in Advance! šŸ™‚ The Skript: ![place filledRegion](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/d/5/d59cce410322acf7824726b905c14d8f80546012.JPG) The Legend: ![TextNote_Legend](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/9/a/9a727754bed252d2f6f835ba6b058eb7d9b9cf61.JPG) [Place Filled Region Type.dyn](https://forum.dynamobim.com/uploads/short-url/8GBwbTLk5feEdxfRLBx07Sv74bw.dyn) (5.6 KB) ---

What does the error says? I think its because of circle. Try converting circle to curve using Curve.Approximatewith Arc (Havenā€™t tried with circle though) ![image](https://cdck-file-uploads-us1.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/d/c/dcd67aca430f39413b2ac766c7694c90f88302fb.png) ---

Thanks Kulkul, It doesnt work with a rectangle eitherā€¦ Error (translating from germanā€¦): Imputs typs doesnt match. No version from ByCurves found, the ArgumentĀ“s Typ (Revit.Elements.element, Autodesk.DesignScript.Gometry.Rectangle,\_\_array) doesnt work out. ![place filledRegion_02](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/1/b/1b90220f70055f2b7d6ee10dc8f23c1a8bd956a4.JPG) ---

Mmmā€¦ Try creating rectangle shape model lines and extract curves and then join the curves with polycurve.byjoinedcurves node. See if that works! ---

@igpema Make sure you convert polycurve to curves. I have tested one and it works as expected. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/8/9/89d7d5d37116d685823e9b04c0a354fbb6f36c61.png) ---

And this is how you create filled region by circle. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/1/a/1ab2b74c793aa12bfd0b437eceee5a88e7e1b396.png) ---

Hi KulKul, Thanks again for the quick answer, actually it should work, but I am doing something wrong cause ā€¦ it doesnt. I Changed the view as well as the filled Region Type but nothingā€¦ Thanks in advance (i will keep trying) ![place filledRegion_04](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/8/1/814060283fc6d298b47afadab79cf2b971ac6a7b.JPG) ---

Hello Kulkul or Dyn. Community, Unfortunatelly I still can not write with Python (I start a 6 months course in two weeks šŸ˜‰ ) But due to this fact, I am stuck on the issue that I want to apply more filled region types to the script, but the Python node doesnt allow it. How could it be possible? what I want: ![TextNote_Legend](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/9/a/9a727754bed252d2f6f835ba6b058eb7d9b9cf61.JPG) and what I can do so farā€¦ ![Schraffur_01](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/f/9/f93f4dd5080ed92ba6518dac24e756380bcfa41f.JPG) and the script: ![Dyn Problem](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/d/e/dee608375930afaba653b3ef109a48c5e45f080f.JPG) [Place filled Region Type with Python.dyn](https://forum.dynamobim.com/uploads/short-url/myStC71rWs6UDjCi9sU4AR9rcmS.dyn) (14.5 KB) Thanks in advance! ---

Please paste your code and try to identify the part you would need to modify. You can do it this way: > [@How to get help on the Dynamo forums](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/how-to-get-help-on-the-dynamo-forums/4677/10): > > Whenever you need help with a python script, be sure to paste the code into your post, mark it and press the \ button: [image] See this optionally: > [@Applying Lineloads in Dynamo from element](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/applying-lineloads-in-dynamo-from-element/15562/3): > > Try using a definition like so above your inputsā€¦ def tolist(obj1): if hasattr(obj1,ā€œiterā€): return obj1 else: return [obj1] And for the input beams write the followingā€¦ beams = tolist(UnwrapElement(IN[0])) This is what I use for inputs to ensure they are an iterable object. Very common point of failure in writing python nodes. (I canā€™t seem to format the code on my mobile, but indented code after the first line naturally) ---

Thank you for this nice \*.dyn. I change it a little bit for us to place all FilledRegionTypes in a Drafting View. Next Steps could be, tag them with Type-Name and how many Elements in project.
