Hi, when I program scripts, it often happens that I create a loop that runs infinitely. The script can not be canceled. The only solution is to completely close Revit. For large Revit projects, restarting Revit and Dynamo consumes a lot of time. That’s why I’ve built a script that runs only a pred…

Hi @Fiesta [image] Fiesta: but I did not find a good solution in this forum. Did you see this? [image] Wait for specific amount of time Packages You could use time.sleep: [sleep]

Hi Kulkul, i did not see that. But this is also a nice idea to use the running time, if a node needs to wait for other nodes.

This is a really good idea :slight_smile: If only it’s functionality could be added to other nodes somehow? I might add OUT = 'Runtime of %s seconds before exit' % int(ss), result It would be ideal to use it with a data shapes input so that we could be prompted how long we want it to run? Happy …

@erfajo Your are right - the “wait for time” would be not the best method for a lot data, but if you have a realy small script and this script has a normal processing time less than 10sec. I think in this case “wait for time” is a good idea. But actually I wanted to stop the Skirpt from a certain …

I’ve just seen Erik’s post… @erfajo Hi Erik, of course you are right in what you say. Ideally Dynamo would have more built-in catcher’s for this kind of thing, but it’s all manual right now… But I think it’s useful to have this in the toolbox as an option. Having adaptability is a big reason why…

We might have to agree to disagree on this :slight_smile: I would be able to see it still was running and not finishing… This is incorrect, you can’t know that it is not finishing… You would only know that it was still running… You wouldn’t know if it will finish in an hour, or at the end of the …

Hey Jacob, Thanks for the feedback :slight_smile: Who would of thought this would be quite such a contentious issue?! I feel quite the first year student getting grilled by the heads of school :smiley: The big point here is that there is no Dynamo ‘stop run’ button… If you kill it, you lose every…

Thanks Erik, I was only joking, I know this is all about process :smiley: I’d really love to know more about the projects your students do, do you have a webpage (in English sorry)? I really don’t think everyone is going to use this all the time, but I will find use for it, without it breaking my …

@erfajo Happy to see you back in the forum discussing stupid trivial things. :slight_smile: Enjoy the comming days with friends and family
