At the moment I’m working on three scripts to tag elements by a script.
The first script I’ve completed and it worked!. With the first script I want to tag all the curtain walls with a value in a parameter. Besides this, it also tag all doors based on a list which I’ve created.
With the same way of thinking I’m started to create the second script. With the second script I want to tag specific elements in an assembly view. When I run the script it says “Run Completed” but it didn’t tag the elements. In the image below you can see in the first watch node all the elements. This list I’ve filtered and in the last watch node you can see the 4 filtered elements.
It’s probably not the error but Document.ActiveView node needs another node to operate.
The packages Springs and Clockwork have both one node to perform the active view. (Springs.Doc.ActiveView and Document.ActiveViewFromCurrentDocument)
Yeah thanks, I forgot that one. But somehow the “Create Annotation Tag” didnt work as I wanted. Meanwhile
Instead of creating annotation tag I switched it to the following node: “TagElementbyoffset” and using vector coordinates. While testing the script, some views it didn’t tag the elements and some views it did tag.
Is this because sections and elevations work with and x and z coordinates and plan views with a x and y coordinates?
plan and elavations works both with x, y and z coordinates
I had a similar thing with crop views and there were the x and z coordinates important in the section and elevation views and the x and y coordinates of interest in the plan views
I didn’t try “Tag.ByElement” in section so I can’t answer you.
Tag.ByElement doesn’t have an input for Tagtype, so if you need to change the family type of the tag, you can use SetParameterByName.
I think the issue with your Create Annotation Tag is that your tag location is a vector. You need the location to be a point on the element being tagged.
Hi guys,i began to discover dynamo 1 week ago. i am working on a script to put annotation on selected pipes but don’t work… the goal of my script is to put the tag just in the middle of the selected pipes, if someone can help me, thank you
I’m trying to tag a structural framing element at it’s default location (with no leader) within an elevation view, but it looks like all the tag nodes require an offset vector relative to the active view. Unless there’s something I’m missing?
Closing this topic as the last reply was 4 years ago and this post doesn’t really give enough insight to help you solve your problem. Please make a new topic and include the Dynamo graph you are using, as well as a Revit model which reproduces the issue.
