Hi guys, I am very new to dynamo. I have created a node ‘all elements at level’ and another one ‘levels’ where I have selected my desired level. I now want to ‘run’ a dynamo script so it will actually select them in my revit model At the bottom of my dynamo page it says run completed but I am int…

Selection in dynamo is usually just to tell it from where to extract the data from. I never saw anybody using Dynamo to select elements in the model. I’m curious if there is a way.

[image] Alien: But can someone tell me WHY you’d want to do this. I cannot speak for @AJHAWKINS , but when I have used this it was to let the users know things which Dynamo had found… Example One: validate headroom in the stairwell, then pop up a UI with either ‘no stairs have any headroom c…

Oooo, noice! I like :smiley: Next project sorted!
