Hello to the folks, I am new to the forum and Dynamo too. I have a task at hand to hunt through a directory of revit files (rvt, rfa, rte) and locate the file which has an obsolete set of line pattern, line style and fill pattern. I was able to figure out how to do that in current file but have be…

Hi @Shaik , Welcome to the Dynamo Forum. You were on the right track in your first post. No need for Python or Forge for this trivial task. You don’t modify anything in the background documents so it doesn’t require any particular resources. These Rhythm nodes have been around for years. Exchange…

I don’t know of a solution, but it will probably require some sort of package which specializes in maintaining standards, or some scripting. I can’t help you with either. How many files do you need to do? If the number of files is say, less than 20 and it takes each file one minute to open and the…

Thanks for your response Thing is this rogue element keeps popping into the current work through the family repository. Having a ton of families, developed over time, it is inevitable that it happens. And everytime it happens it requires us to cleanup the file at multiple stages which is a lot of t…

I found this in a post: [image] Get Element Types Present In Linked Model Revit Thankfully Konrad and others are very knowledgeable in python. slight_smile after pulling apart some nodes I managed to get this. [image] Will post to Rhythm! [image] The file is availa…

Thanks for getting back on this. I tried the node but this is what i get. [image]

I copied the code block-out from the custom node. Try this: ElementTypes.FromLinkedModel.dyn (13.6 KB)

that was neat, no clue how you did that, it did not allow me to even edit the node. I am able to extract elements but only from the current file and i do not see an input port for a file path. [image]

I have brought you to my limits! You need to feed a document to that list. See attached. Unfortunately, the node does not accept lists and I cannot program in python. :frowning: It’s toward the bottom of a very very long To-do list, but here is a script that will work for a single document input.…

For this kind of job, the best solution is using DA4R (design automation for revit, forge API) or, at least a macro. It will much, very much faster and safer. Dynamo it’s not intended for operation in multiple files, even if it can. How can you check the job?

Eureka, it worked, Thanks Alban. That was pretty much the simplest way anyone could have solved this. I got the FIll Pattern Element filter to work such that the Fill Patterns are filtered to find the target Element Name. For some reason the nodes for Line Pattern do not comply. And the last step …

Thanks for doing the heavy lifting, that definitely took a lot of thinking. I gave it a shot but got stuck on step 2. Any clues what may have went wrong? and is the Rhythm node obsolete? [image]
