Does someone know how to set the Assembly Code file with Dynamo in Revit.
Only found the node how to get the file path…
http://dynamobim.org/forums/topic/get-assembly-code-settings-in-python/
I don’t even know what a Assembly Code Table is, but the
AssemblyCodeTable Class in the Revit API has only got one Method, and that’s the GetAssemblyCodeTable Method
http://www.revitapidocs.com/2016/26b23f25-ef12-5368-3f4b-6097f93ce312.htm
That makes me think it’s not possible to set it. Someone else might be able to give a more certain answer than me.
Assembly code is a UNIFORMAT classification (Alphanumeric string) for categorizing the built environment. Anything constructed can be classified by these codes.
@Jeremy_Tammik - Any suggestions on how to SET assembly code in PYHTON? (Thanks in advance : )
I am having a similar issue- ran across “UNIFORMAT_CODE” as a built in parameter - see section under:
if param.lower()=="assembly code":
outSub.append("UNIFORMAT_CODE:")
element.SetParameterByName(BuiltInParameter.UNIFORMAT_CODE,dat[hI]) #p=header/param name, dat[i] corresponding data at index
outSub.append("BuiltInParamSuccess!")
This is not working either (Correctly formatted code below).
# Default imports

clr.AddReference("RevitAPI")
clr.AddReference("RevitNodes")

OUT=outI tried setting by name for “Assembly Code” in the 1st attempt to se in the code and it failed.
Got the idea for built-in parameters from:
https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-api-forum/assembly-code-in-system-families/td-p/4790573
AND
really need to know how to set family TYPE parameters in Python- as well I suspect the “Assembly Code/Uniformat” is a special parameter.
Here is how to set a builtinparameter (typeparameter) with python. This is untested code.
import clr
# Import Revit API
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
# Import ToDSType(bool) extension method
clr.AddReference('RevitNodes')
import Revit
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.GeometryConversion)
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.Elements)
# Import DocumentManager and TransactionManager
clr.AddReference('RevitServices')
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
# Input
element = UnwrapElement(IN[0])
valueToSet = IN[1]
#Get the type
elementType = doc.GetElement(element.GetTypeId())
# Get the parameter
parameter = elementType.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.UNIFORMAT_CODE)
#Set the parameter in a Transaction
TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
parameter.Set(valueToSet)
TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()
OUT = 0

Much Obliged!
Will test and debug it and then push it back to the forum.
Thanks!

Admittedly I don’t know how unwrap works… so I had to adapt the former part of the code and add the unwrap later- still errors out setting the parameter (Can you unwrap an element?)
in the 2nd TRY there is the ### Unifromat scan:
ele=UnwrapElement(element) #Get the type ##UNIFORMAT SET elementType = doc.GetElement(ele.GetTypeId()) # Get the parameter parameter = elementType.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.UNIFORMAT_CODE) ## #Set the parameter in a Transaction TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc) parameter.Set(data[hI]) TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()

Your unwrapping looks fine. While troubleshooting, it would be better to remove the try-except blocks to see what error messages you get.
Warning: IronPythonEvaluator.EvaluateIronPythonScript operation failed.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 55, in
NameError: name ‘BuiltInParameter’ is not defined
Are you missing a reference?
# Import Revit API
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *Yep- Missed the import
Now it is a different error:

Almost have it- posting the wrong data to the assembly code but it is setting it …

Hello Ron. I really apprieciate your work, but can you make your script more understandable? What do you mean by the folowing parameters?
elements = IN[0] ##Elements in the mode
headers = IN[1] ##Headers for reference
data = IN[2] ##Data
Maybe you can add some printcreens from your Dynamo workaround to this post?
thanx!
elements = IN[0] ##Elements in the model - Elements to run the script with (1d List)
headers = IN[1] ##Headers for reference - The headers stripped out from the excel file (Also the Revit PARAMETER Names)(1d list)
data = IN[2] ##Data - The remaining excel rows of data.(List of list - 2d list)
thurevit3 , Did you solve the problem of the question? I would also like to set the Assembly Code with Dynamo in Revit
Create a Python Script with the following Code:
With a filepath as input, (referring to the location of the .txt file) this should do the work
import clr
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import*
clr.AddReference('RevitServices')
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
uiapp = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentUIApplication
app = uiapp.Application
filepath = UnwrapElement(IN[0])
p = ModelPathUtils.ConvertUserVisiblePathToModelPath(filepath)
s = ExternalResourceReference.CreateLocalResource(doc, ExternalResourceTypes.BuiltInExternalResourceTypes.AssemblyCodeTable, p, PathType.Absolute);
TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
AssemblyCodeTable.GetAssemblyCodeTable(doc).LoadFrom(s, KeyBasedTreeEntriesLoadResults());
TransactionManager.Instance.ForceCloseTransaction()
OUT = s.GetReferenceInformation()
