Place multiple views on multiple sheets by coordinates

Revit
104

@Daniel_Woodcock1 @jacob.small

I wanted to add this here because I am having similar issues to above.
When running the python script I am getting the List[object] has no attribute ‘Id’ error…

I am feeding multilevel lists into the python script at each level.
If I add [0] to each input of the codeblock as suggested above the python script works but adds views on the first sheet…

I’m not very familiar with Python. Any thoughts on how I can fix this?
Thanks,

Have you tried using the Viewport.Create node in Rhythm? You may need a few minutes of trial and error to get your input levels correct, but after that it works a treat.

Place list of Views on list of Sheets by list of Points - Python for Revit Dynamo · GitHub should do it.

You have no inputs for sheets and points in your codeblock. Also use a small S and small P to name “sheet” and “points”

This one requires 3 equal-length flat lists as inputs.

Your list depths look incorrect. Sheets should be a flat list (no sublists) and views + location lists should be identically nested lists 1 level deep. So, for each sheet there should be a list of views to place on it and their positions. If you have a list of sheets, then you should have a list of lists for views/positions. Please see this post which explains this further…

Thank you for this, it works flawlessly! Cheers!
