Place schedules on sheets by co-ordinates (imported from excel)

[Dynamo_Ann]

Hello,

I am trying to place schedules on sheets by co-ordinates (imported from excel)

1. I have script that has extracted the schedules and their co-ordinates from a template file.
2. I have transferred the schedules to my new file, but would like to place them by the co-ordinates that I retrieved from the abovementioned template file.

So far, I can get the data to import, but using that data logically and efficiently is I am struggling with.

Question 1: - extracting the data

Data required, SHEET, VIEWS, LOCATIONS

Separating/Using the information , there are 22 sheets in this set, so it’s not bad, but this feels inefficient…
is there a better way? (I’m not a python user yet)

Question 2 - using the data

I have been down the rabbit-hole of this one - and many more linked to it, including the blog, and haven’t found anything to match my particular issue.

Place multiple views on multiple sheets by coordinates

Hi Daniel, Thanks this would be so appreciated! I think i just haven’t fully understood how it works yet. I get this error, “Number of sheets does not match either the number of view lists of (or?) location lists” if i have 140 views to put on a sheet to look at. do i need 140 location points? Me trying to get it to work with 2 views [image]

I have made sure the lists structure match the required structure as mentioned in the posts.

Once I extract the information for the Python Script and try and run the script I get the following error.

  **'str' object has no attribute 'ToXyz',**

Is it because the points are imported from excel and read as strings values? How do I tell it to be a point list again?

Thanks in advance.

The Viewport.Create Node from Rhythm has no problem handling Schedules. I would take a look at that instead of a python script that you’re not familiar with.

Might be worth mentioning that the placement point of schedules is different from ‘regular’ views. (I though it defaults to top left)

Thank you! I didn’t realise that node would handle multiple views on multiple sheets, also places correctly to the co-ordinates that I had extracted from another file.
