How can I rotate ImageInstances with Dynamo? I have to replace some Generic Models that are hosting ‘escape door’ symbols by jpg’s. I can manage to place them but not rotate them in their floorplan. Can someone help? [image]

I don’t know how to rotate the image instances, but see if you can apply a rotational transform as a start point. That said… [image] RevitRobot: I have to replace some Generic Models that are hosting ‘escape door’ symbols by jpg’s That could either be either genius or horrific. Even odds on…

[image] Well, loaded in detail items have problems with Vector printing. Sometimes Raster printing doesn’t allow for it either. I will try to apply [image] jacob.small: a rotational transform but I wouldn’t know which node to use. It’s odd because I can use the Rotate function in Revit an…

I used DWGs of those icons (loaded in Detail Items) in the past. Worked great for me.

same here, using JPGs sounds like a bad idea.

Can’t you just draw it as detail item by tracing the dwg (or exploding) with filled regions? Edit: I have that same family, but there’s no issue with printing for me. Have you tried switching to a different pdf printer to test, or use the export pdf option? [image]

Yes we tried many, don’t forget, this still doesn’t solve the scaling that it doesn’t do ;). I am just looking to rotate images, that is all. I can’t understand why manually it works, but any node or python code can’t seem to handle it.

is it something here you are after ?? [DJTf2935bF]

Yes! [image] What do these nodes do and why do I need them? I want to understand

pick point was just for a location rotation origin…you could just use a bounding box with centerpoint…yeah seems the rotation node do some funny things when rotate so i just set the location after…dirty but works
