Is there such a thing as a Bounding Box for Revit Text in Dynamo? The Geometry.BoundingBox node gives me an “operation failed” error regardless of whether I feed it a single node or a list. Here’s my idea, which I hope would help identify problems in upgrading to 2017 Before converting a project…

Element.Bounding box may be the more appropriate node to try. But I’m quite sure that will fail too. Considering that the way text height is measured has changed in 2017 and that there is no real common rule that applies uniformly across all characters, your idea could be a good way to identify aff…

Hello DaveP, The bounding box from text notes is quite easy to get via the API: [image]

Clockwork has element.bounding box available already. [image]

Thanks for the suggestions, gentlemen. Vikram, you are correct. Element.BoundingBox fails the same as Geometry.BoundingBox Einar, I’m raw enough at dynamo without trying to get into Python/API in addition, so that’s why I didn’t try to go that route. I’ll try replicating your code. Thanks. Jon, …

Doesn’t seem to matter. I tried again with a Floor Plan, a Legend, and a Drafting View and got the same error for all. I’m still on Dynamo 0.9.2 and Clockwork 0.90.6 if that matters. I’m using a couple of nodes from Archi-Lab and it looks like Konrad hasn’t upgraded to 1.0.0 yet.

What if you try to go the other way around, first find the views and then the text notes: (all custom nodes are clockwork) [image]

Haven’t had a chance to work on this lately, just getting back to it now. In the meantime, I’ve upgraded Dynamo and the Packages to 1.0.0. Either that or the Flatten Einar suggested seems to have fixed the original problem I was having. But now all I’m getting is Empty Lists as output from the Bo…

You forgot to set lacing to longest on the bounding box node. Good question about that grouping, it dosen’t make sense, I think you can just skip that step. [image] [image] getTextWidthAndHeight.dyn (6.7 KB) compareTextWidthAndHeight.dyn (11.4 KB) The python script (Clockworks Element.ByID do…
