You can try it, it’s easy way.

@robert12546358 Thank you! This did exactly what I needed it to do!
@erfajo The node works beautifully! Hope you kept it in the next update to Orchid. And thank you for the reference, I’ll slowly try to digest it all. Hopefully I get more familiar with it as time goes by.
I am very glad i stumbled upon this thread and the python script is very helpful.
Everything is fine until i got an error exporting an in place family so i edited the script to have error exemptions.
Just a simple try and except is what i added to this.
"
import clr
clr.AddReference(‘ProtoGeometry’)
from Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry import *
clr.AddReference(‘RevitAPI’)
import Autodesk
clr.AddReference(‘RevitServices’)
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
#Close all transactions
trans = TransactionManager.Instance
trans.ForceCloseTransaction()
fams = IN[0]
paths = IN[1]
#unwrap the Dynamo elements
fams = map(UnwrapElement, fams)
for i in xrange(len(fams) ):
try:
famDoc = doc.EditFamily(fams[i])
famDoc.SaveAs(paths[i])
famDoc.Close(False)
except:
pass
OUT = 0;
";
Thanks for the node in your package erfajo.
But I would also like to add a RunIt possiblity to this node so I can get it to run with a boolean.
In the python script I can built this in myself, but when I try to use this python script I get the same error as above (“family is not iterable”), while it’s a regular “generic model face based”
Do you maybe have a solution for this?
not yet…
Hello guys, im trying to use both the solution proposed by @robert12546358 and by @Dimitar_Venkov, but im having problems with both…
with the first one, i get this
but no file is created! any ideas?
and with dimitar`s, I get the following error
does anyone know any workaround? or is there a better way to do what i’m trying to do here?
EDIT: I also tried groups in the solution by dimitar, but it didn’t seen to work either
Hello Dynamo people,
I came across this topic because I need this script to store all the families from my Revit Model. Tried with Python node but comes the same error as for other ones from this topic. So I used the nodes that Dynamo have inside Revit 2024. In atachment you can find the script:
I have another question regarding this topic. Is it possible to set number of backUps for all these Families with Dynamo? Saving them I am getting number of 5 but I want just 1 to have…
Thank you for your answer.
