Hi I want to create a script where spot coordinates are created all the structural columns in a view automatically. The script I tried is not working. Nothing is happening. Can someone point out what I am doing wrong? [01-11-2018%201059] [SPOT%20COORDINATES]

I don’t think annotation tag works for spot elevations. Clockwork package has a node called SpotElevation ByPoint. You should try that.

Hi. But that is spot elevations. What I am looking for is spot coordinates.

Ah sorry, I misread. But you can actually edit the clockwork node SpotElevation ByPoint, open the python, and at line 33, change doc.Create.NewSpotElevation to doc.Create.NewSpotCoordinate and then save as a new node. They take the same inputs so it should behave the same. Maybe @Andreas_Dieckm…

Hey Thanks. That is simple enough.:grinning:. I did the changes and saved it as new custom node. Now how do i insert in diagram? It is not showing anywhere?

@kennyb6 Sure, will add it to next Clockwork version. [image] Issue: Spot Elevation vs. Spot Coordinate opened by andydandy74 on 2018-11-01 closed by andydandy74 on 2018-12-09 https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/spot-coordinates/27910/4 Use boolean toggle or create a second no…

@kennyb6 Tried doing it but nothing happening. Obviously I am not doing something correctly. Can you check and guide? Auto dimensioning of columns.dyn (9.4 KB)

@Kulkul Could you look in to this by any chance?

Maybe like this? Worked for me. [Aantekening%202019-08-14%20150349] import clr clr.AddReference('RevitAPI') from Autodesk.Revit.DB import * clr.AddReference("RevitNodes") import Revit clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.GeometryConversion) clr.AddReference("RevitServices") import RevitServices from Revi…

To use it on multiple elements just wrap it in een custom node and set input to var (singular input) and manage your input lists outside the node. So 1 view, 1 element, 1 point etc. Alternatively mange it in the python self but then you have to provide specific input for the node to work. Which mean…

Where do you get Bend and End Point from?

@kennyb6 Sure, will add it to next Clockwork version.
