I can get the script to section the model correctly using the section by elements. but i cant get it to Duplicate the 3d view without showing the stuff above the sectionbox
1.) Before Section
2.) After Section; {3D} View
3.) After Section; In Newly Created View
4.) Section box is in right spot it just doesnt section.
HERE IS GRAPH:
HERE IS DYN AND REVIT FAMILY:
Section Box from origin.dyn (51.1 KB)
Section Box Family.rfa (328 KB)
Duplicating the view with the correct section box is the most important thing. i have another script that can export all the views.
Does manually modifying the section box (ie: lower the top extents) after the fact fix the issue?
@jacob.small yes or moving it in anyway. I tried to move the section box in dynamo, but was unsuccessfu. i need it to move and then move back to the original location.
In that case, try adding a chunk of script similar to the other post to move the section box - 1/32" on the Z axis and see if that resolves this issue as well.
Haven’t used preformatted text yet, but here goes nothing:
import clr
from System.Collections.Generic import *
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
import Autodesk
clr.AddReference("RevitNodes")
import Revit
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.Elements)
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.GeometryConversion)
clr.AddReference("RevitServices")
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
items = {UnwrapElement(IN[0])}
xyz = UnwrapElement(IN[1]).ToXyz()
ids = list()
for item in items:
ids.append(item.Id)
itemlist = List[ElementId](ids)
TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
moveditems = ElementTransformUtils.MoveElements(doc,itemlist,xyz)
TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()
OUT = items
how do i get an element from the duplicated view
I was able to find a solution by creating my view before sectioning instead of after. thank you
Great news and glad to help!
Can you do me a solid and upload a screenshot of the completed script so others can refer to it if they have the same problem?
