Hi Einar, thanks so much for your reply. I try to explain better what I’m trying to do: I created a new reference plane in Revit with Dynamo using some points and planes… now I’m tying to set automatically from dynamo the plane that I created without entering in Revit and using the “Set Work Plane” tool.
I tried to use the set plane method that I found in revit API but I cannot solve it.
Now I tried to use your solution but I’m doing something wrong because it’s not working…
import clr
clr.AddReference('ProtoGeometry')
from Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry import *
# Import Element wrapper extension methods
clr.AddReference("RevitNodes")
import Revit
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.Elements)
# Import geometry conversion extension methods
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.GeometryConversion)
# Import DocumentManager and TransactionManager
clr.AddReference("RevitServices")
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
uiapp = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentUIApplication
app = uiapp.Application
# Import RevitAPI
clr.AddReference("RevitAPI")
import Autodesk
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
uiapp = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentUIApplication
app = uiapp.Application
#The inputs to this node will be stored as a list in the IN variable.
dataEnteringNode = IN
#unwrap all elements to use with API
bubbleEnd = UnwrapElement(IN[0]).ToRevitType()
freeEnd = UnwrapElement(IN[1]).ToRevitType()
cutVector = UnwrapElement(IN[2]).ToRevitType()
pView = UnwrapElement(doc.ActiveView.ToDSType(True))
TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
#apply lineweight override to elements in an input list
typelist = list()
rPlane = doc.Create.NewReferencePlane(bubbleEnd,freeEnd,cutVector,pView)
# "End" the transaction
TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()
#Assign your output to the OUT variable
def SetWorkPlane():
newRefPlane = UnwrapElement(rPlane)
TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
sp = SketchPlane.Create(doc,newRefPlane)
doc.ActiveView.SketchPlane = sp
TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()
return "Work plane changed"
newWorkPlane = SetWorkPlane()
OUT = newWorkPlane
Here is an updated script that might work, if I have guessed the correct input types of your graph.
import clr
clr.AddReference('ProtoGeometry')
from Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry import *
# Import Element wrapper extension methods
clr.AddReference("RevitNodes")
import Revit
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.Elements)
# Import geometry conversion extension methods
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.GeometryConversion)
# Import DocumentManager and TransactionManager
clr.AddReference("RevitServices")
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
uiapp = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentUIApplication
app = uiapp.Application
# Import RevitAPI
clr.AddReference("RevitAPI")
import Autodesk
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
uiapp = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentUIApplication
app = uiapp.Application
# The inputs to this node will be stored as a list in the IN variable.
dataEnteringNode = IN
# Unwrap elements and convert geometry from Dynamo to Revit:
# Read more here: https://github.com/DynamoDS/Dynamo/wiki/Python-0.6.3-to-0.7.x-Migration#revitapi
bubbleEnd = IN[0].ToPoint()
freeEnd = IN[1].ToPoint()
cutVector = IN[2].ToVector()
pView = doc.ActiveView
# Create the reference plane in a transaction
TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
rPlane = doc.Create.NewReferencePlane(bubbleEnd,freeEnd,cutVector,pView)
TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()
# Set the reference plane as the sketchplane in the active view in another transaction
TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
sp = SketchPlane.Create(doc,rPlane.Id)
doc.ActiveView.SketchPlane = sp
TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()
OUT = rPlane
Thanks Einar, I watched the link, I made some changes to your code and now work perfecly! Thank you so much!!
here is the final code that I created
