Resize scope box

Revit

I know you can’t create a new scope box… So I’m copying an existing one.
I can move it to a new location.
However, i’m stuck trying to work out a workaround for scaling it/ resizing it.

Point X is correct.
Point B (in plan) should be where O is.

I saw his post : How to set the height of a scopebox
but that’s height, it’s the max x,y coordinate I’m having issues with, the z coordinate is fine.

Create Scope Box from Section Box << I didn’t understand how that applied to a scope box.

Is there a way to do this?

@Alien ,

i encountered similar issues. The point is when you run a dynamo script, it is a one way ticket. It stores the data from the first run. I recomment to open/close dynamo and run it again.

How do I alter the size of a scope box?

The one way I’ve “created” a scope box from “scratch” was by putting the scope box in a model group, placing the model group where I needed it to be, and then ungrouping the model group. When I was tasked with building it, there were three different bay sizes for a structural model and grid naming to determine what scope box size would be used.
I asked Copilot if there’s a way to resize a scope box, and there really isn’t, but it said that you could position and scale a new scope box from the original using the element transform utils copy element method. It’s worth looking into, but it could be a dead end.

Currently I’ve copied an existing scope box.
I’ve moved this to my start point (marked with ‘X’ on my awesome sketch :smiley: )

Sadly though, I did try to scale and it didn’t work… I wondered if it was me and I should try harder or if I’m wasting my time.

I want to know if it is actually possible and which method I should look at.

@achintya_bhat don’t suppose adjusting scope boxes are in the, “add to API” in the near future?

I believe there’s no method for creating or modifying scope boxes (unless it was a recent add to the API that I’ve missed). Whether it’s on the API “roadmap” or not would be a question for the Revit team.
