Developers

Hi All,

I am developing a Custom UI Node which I want to put few selection model element button together. Currently I am able to select elements from Revit (tested by using Zero Touch), but I am stuck at how to convert these elements to AssociativeNode so can be output by dynamo custom UI. Is Dynamo even allow developers to do custom selection in such way ?

Script to Select elements from Revit:

Hi @Clover
There are a couple resources for this. There are instruction for "Custom UI " nodes:

And a more in depth discussion of these more advanced nodes here:
https://github.com/teocomi/dug-dynamo-unchained/tree/master/dynamo-unchained-2-learn-how-to-develop-explicit-nodes-in-c%23

And you can look at the specific code used to create selection in Revit in Select Model Element here:

Hope that helps!

DynamoSamples repo may be the simplest to use.
