Hi
I have an old graph I made that selects an image file, creates a drafting view and renames it to match the original file name.
We recently upgraded to Revit 2021 and dynamo 2.5. This graph has stopped working.
I get this error
I made a new python script window and used the command suggestion thing. ImageImportOptions() is not showing up.
https://www.revitapidocs.com/ does not have code for 2021.Load images to project?
This graph was created from @Konrad_K_Sobon post
So, it wasn’t as easy as i thought it would be, but I was still able to do what you were asking for. Here it is:
First you need to import an image into a drafting view and to achieve it we need to call the method that I mentioned previously:
Document.Import(string, ImageImportOptions, View, Element)
Where:
String is a file path to the image.
ImageImportOptions is a class in Revit API that defines where and how we want to place our image.
View is a view that you want to place your import in…
Can someone help me here, please
Image File to Drafting View.dyn (40.3 KB)
This code was replaced in 2021, to account for some of the user interface changes which were also added. A listing of the changes can be found here:
Thanks @jacob.small .
Not sure, but I haven’t really dug into it. Knowing the methods means you could try learning by experimentation to some extent (that is feed it two overrides which won’t work - say DateTime objects - return the trace back to see what the method requires, and then then give the node that thing).
Have you checked to see if there is a node in archilab package for this? Silly to reinvent the wheel for everything if you can consume something common.
Thank you @jacob.small
