Hi all, is there a node to set a 3D view by a floor plan or an elevation like you can do in revit? I found one by GeniusLoki, but it can only copy from a 3Dview, not a floor plan.
This recent post might provide a way to accomplish your wants.
Just so I am making sure that I cam covering everything, there is currently no way of automatically select the section box that is associated to a view without the user selecting it in the view? The section box only has parameters for Category and that’s really it. It does not tie the Section Box to the view it is hosted in.

John- Tried out your graph and worked great. Thanks again.
Hope this helps!

Hi patrick, thanks for the response! Is there any way to set a 3d section box if the view doesnt have a scope box assigned to it though?
Yes, you can. Rhythm has a node that can assist with this, you’ll need to figure out how to extract the bounding box of the floor plan.
I’ve tried View3D.SetSectionBox and it doesn’t work.
My approach is to use a Scope box for overall boundingbox corners.

Result:

Testing with boundingbox of an element doesn’t work either:

Nor does built-in node AxonometricView.ByEyePointTargetAndBoundingBox:

I’m using Revit 2017.2 and Dynamo 1.2.1.3083.
It seems something deep has changed. Maybe the Revit API?
I’ve posted an issue on dynamo github site no response yet.
Hope this helps!
