Project Clean Up - Script Failing in Background Document

@Alban_de_Chasteigner

You’re rigth. @john_pierson modified his nodes in the Rhythm last update to return the title of the document.

I did. . The reason this change happened is because of the errors outlined in the following threads: (I specifically demo the crash in this thread and it is an icky crash)

Copy Views to Document on file

Is there any way to copy views from a Document to un-open ( Document from file path) document. Like the Documents.CopyElementsFromDocument node except that i want to copy to instead of copy from.

Close Background Revit Files

Hi @nharburger, I wanted to provide an update on this request. Recently I released a version of Rhythm that included the following node to accommodate this, [image] However, the node was only halfway reliable because of some stability issues demonstrated in the following thread in relation to other background open operations from other packages. https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/copy-views-to-document-on-file/33448 In short, with background opening scripts Dynamo gets placed in a fairly “uneas…

In short, if you return the raw Autodesk.Revit.DB.Document from a node like the node you are showing, you are most certainly going to run into crashes any time you are in a run mode other than manual, (and even then, it can still crash).

I am currently working on another node that will retrieve the Autodesk.Revit.DB.Document by name to enable Rhythm node’s use with other nodes that require this input. But I want to be sure to do this in a way that prevents crashes which might be difficult…

FYI, if Orchid is working for you right now, then feel free to use that until I can catch up with my fix.

Not sure what would cause this to change over the course of a couple of days?

Also, I try to highlight changes on the Github as I develop the package as well. Application and Document Bug Fixes · johnpierson/RhythmForDynamo@3e3fa88 · GitHub

Most of the most popular Dynamo packages are open source, so keeping an eye on the development is probably a good idea too
