Hi,
As part of a much bigger project I’m trying out some code to place an ElevationMarker.
From this I will generate some elevations and so other stuff.
The problem is that my code which places the marker fails:
I’m fairly sure the issue is with getting the view to place the elevation marker (I’m using doc.ActiveView.id),
If i remove the try: from the transaction, I get an error which states 'Errortype: expected ElementId, got int
Any thoughts?
Kevin, this is something a few people have been working on recently.
Have a look at @Jeremy_Graham website, he made this http://learndynamo.com/mod2/ and it is fantastic! You may want to tweak it to use room boundary’s instead of model lines.
See this thread also about this definiton: Module 2 - Creating Elevations - Far Clip Offset adjustment possible?
and:
Module 2 Issue - Marker Incorrect Orientation
Thanks.
I’m trying to create elevations from rooms as you guessed and have most of the other code working, its just placing the elevation marker which fails…
I can’t see what I’m doing different from those to the links in your post?
Hello,
I think you need a ViewFamilyType: http://revitapisearch.com/html/e0edeb6d-1627-3e3f-e386-be182a9dd8cb.htm
The difference between your code and the one in http://learndynamo.com/mod2/ :
for your elementid question a snippet:
i=1 # a valid Id retrieved from Revit
elementId = ElementId(int(i)) # assign the id
elements.append(doc.GetElement(elementId))
Einar Raknes - Yes, that was the problem - Thanks for your help.
