Place text note group

Is it possible to place a text note group in views? Or possibly place a copy of the element in a views?

Yes - there is an API call to ‘copy elements’ here: CopyElements Method (View, ICollection(ElementId), View, Transform, CopyPasteOptions)

Thanks Jacob. I just saw this node. I wonder if it will save me.

Looks like I’ve gone down this rabbit hole before

I’ve got it working. But at some point. The group origin is shifting.


Hey @vanman
Have you checked the factor the new origins are out by?
Does it scale into the realm of a unit conversion issue?

Have a tag for the type title text. A grouped text note for windows as they are generally all the same. Dont want people creating new types of curtain walls for minor window variances or do I. Thrown a spanner in the works

Hi Ewan! It seems when this node is grouping the text note. Its origin is flying up to the level above. The view scale is set then a transaction end and start, then the note is grouped. Grouping outside of the main script dosnt have an issue


Ok going to put it in the tag and see how it works out :slight_smile:
