Python - How to get a Revit API method to run after the Post Command method?

[Mark.Ackerley]

Hey,

I’ve tried to get PCs to work, here’s a thread with me being shot down!

Wall By Face From Dynamo Surface

Hi @Mark.Ackerley Postable commands are a last resort kinda thing imo… They return void, and take no arguments apart from the command ID and you can’t use them in conjunction with other postable commands. They are simply what all the buttons use to initiate a command. Similar to a Dynamo graphs in this way… they are run, they do what they do and then that’s it. We typically don’t use these in code because of these limitations, but there are some exceptions where they might be useful, but not t…

In that situation there were other methods we could use to get a similar result.

Just as a point of interest, I noticed that you can extract just the boundary points from the topo, is there perhaps a way of refining the points you’re using with other methods then feeding them back in?

As I say it would be easier to discuss with a simple test file.

Cheers,

Mark

Edit: There is also an Add Points method… can you back the points to make it concave after perhaps? Or move points?

Literally just seen this… https://thebuildingcoder.typepad.com/blog/2019/04/new-revit-2020-sdk-samples.html concave topography in the api?
