Hello Everyone,
I’m trying to get the coordinates of a scheduleSheetInstance. I tried some differents methodes (2 differents actualy) and I can’t get a good result. The coordinates I’m looking for is the center coordinate. Do you have any ideas about it?
The Point method returns the insertion point which is the top left corner of the schedule instance (this location does not change). You might be able to get the center point by using a bounding box.
I tried the point method, but I can’t find how to get the bounding box. This method doesn’t work… Did I make something wrong?
Again you would likely have to use Python in this case.

Well, I’m not a big fan of Python, because I’ve never learned it properly… There is no solution using dynamo? with packages maybe? Is there a python script already existing for this case?
Hey there,
Here’s the snippet of code I made for this.
Hope that helps
import clr
clr.AddReference('ProtoGeometry')
from Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry import *
# Les entrées effectuées dans ce noeud sont stockées sous forme de liste dans les variables IN.
schedules = UnwrapElement(IN[0])
result = []
for schedule in schedules:
loc = schedule.Point
result.append(Point.ByCoordinates(loc.X,loc.Y,loc.Z))
# Affectez la sortie à la variable OUT.
OUT = resultHi !
hm, that didn’t work, here is what Dynamo says :
I think your code is not for ScheduleSheetInstance…
Can you insert a watch node after the “schedules” output ?
Your schedule output is a list of lists. You need to flatten it before the python node.
I would also highly recommend taking the time to at least learn the basics of Python. While there are many core and custom nodes that can help with Revit functions, being able to utilize the entire API will make these more complex or less common processes a breeze.
Ok Thanks.
Yes I know that… I’m working on it, but I’d higly rather doing it without having to write lines of code ^^. If I have no other choice, I’m doing it…
