hi everyone. i am trying to make a loop on one sheet, setting parameter by name before printing over and over. i took the pdf printing code from archilab trying to loop it but no luck

here is the piece of code i am concerned with

debuglist = []
for x in parameterValue:
    TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
    theSheet[0].SetParameterByName("UNIT ORIENTATION", str(x))
    TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()
    debuglist.append(x)
    time.sleep(3)
    PrintView(doc,theSheet,pRange, printerName, combined, filePath,printSetting)
OUT = debuglist
2 
import sys
import clr

clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
from Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure import *

clr.AddReference('RevitAPIUI')
from Autodesk.Revit.UI import *

clr.AddReference('System')
from System.Collections.Generic import List

clr.AddReference('RevitNodes')
import Revit
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.GeometryConversion)
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.Elements)

clr.AddReference('RevitServices')
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager

doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
uidoc=DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentUIApplication.ActiveUIDocument

#Do some action in a Transaction
TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)

theSheet[0].SetParameterByName(“UNIT ORIENTATION”, str(x))

TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()

#here is the piece of code i am concerned with
parameterValue = UnwrapElement(IN[0])
debuglist = []

for x in parameterValue:
    debuglist.append(x)
    time.sleep(3)
    PrintView(doc,theSheet,pRange, printerName, combined, filePath,printSetting)

OUT = debuglist

hmmm… tapstop and Syntex :slight_smile: i have no Revit there at the weekend… give it a try
