Hi!
I would like to create something related to the scale of views in the title block of sheets, with respect to multiple views on a single sheet with conditions such as:
*the title block being able to displaying every scale of each views on a single sheet
*being able to group the similar scale views as one scale (to avoid repetiotion)
*scale organised in descending order
I would really appreciate suggestions on how to improvise this and also to write the code since i am relatively new to dynamo
I have made a script that collects all the sheets and then collects all the views on these sheets and then it gets the view scale parameter value for each of these views.
Please explain more and I will see if this can be improved tomorrow.
Break down the task into as many smaller components as you can manage.
Ex:
Retrieve a list of all sheets.
Collect all of the views for each sheet.
Collect all of the scales for each view (@simon_murphy1 has shown you up to this step)
Simplify each sublist down to Unique Items.
Replace the scale numbers with standardized scale notation (for instance [1/8" = 1’-0"] in Imperial)
Sort the sublists so the scales are organized consistently.
Convert the sublists to single multiline stringtext
Have an instance parameter in the sheets established to report multiline text.
Plug the multiline stringtext into the sheets.
Here’s some reference material for step 7.
Everything else should be manageable with standard Dynamo nodes, post updates if you’re stuck (or even if you get it to work, it’s useful for the next person to reference finished graphs).
