Scaling 2D Detail Lines in a Drafting View using Dynamo

Is there really no way to create a graph for this? I am able to select all drafting lines, and even get their linestyle, but now I am finding the Scale.Geometry node will not accept “curves.” Do I need to extract all the origins/coordinates and put them into various lists for mathematical operations? Seems excessive for such a simple task. In fact probably best to just do it manually.

Solved My Own Question. DetailCurve.Curve worked but it was hard to find and has no description as to it’s function. Now…How to keep the Linetypes.

Hello @jwinklerQ3ZUJ

You can not select Revit elements and then use them like they are dynamo geometry. Thats what you tried in your first picture.
First step for such things is always to convert the Revit element to dynamo geometry and there is only one node to remember.

Thank you! That insight is extremely helpful to me as I learn Dynamo.
