Goodday, Revit 2026.2 Dynamo 3.5.2 We recently started using bending details in Revit see image below, it is an option within the annotations to fold out your rebar in views or sections. Now we have to manually place each bending detail on a view which is a little time consuming. I tried to find…

Any ideas how the geometry for these type of elements work? I tried to place them using your method but somehow the coordinate system is doing something very differently. The view is on the scale 1:20, but that doesn’t match up as well. [image] [image] EDIT: I just found out that the Revit API…

You’re going to have to dig into the API and use RebarBendingDetail.Create method Unfortunately none of the Rebar packages for Dynamo have been recently updated to include this functionality

Thanks! I thought so.. I will give it a shot. Not to familiar though with using the API. Thanks for providing the API call :smiley:

The element is recognized as a Tag (which it is if i’m correct) but this way the python code doesn’t recognize the tag as a bending detail, what can i do differently? [image]

My mistake, i had to unwrap the element ofcourse

And it is working! [image] # Load the Python Standard and DesignScript Libraries import sys import clr import ctypes clr.AddReference('ProtoGeometry') from Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry import * from Autodesk.Revit.DB import * from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager from RevitServ…

One more question, i now used the XYZ(0,0,0) But i preferably want to use something relative to the original rebar element position. I tried using the following method to retrieve the CenterLineCurves but i cannot get it to work.. Any ideas why? ApiDocs.co · Revit · RebarInSystem.GetCenterlineCurve…

Hello, you need to add the domain where the desired classes are located. from Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure import * cordially christian.stan

A couple of notes RebarBendingDetail.Create is not working in Revit 2025 / Dynamo 3.3 - all flavours of Python - as it has an issue with the viewId in my testing You can get the Line which defines the rebar set by getting the geometry - however you have to set IncludeNonVisibleObjects property to…
