I saw this post by @john_pierson at LinkedIn ( working with Revit documents in #DynamoBIM is.... a bit of a pain - LinkedIn ), due to I have stopped using this forum, so I am not aware if it is posted somewhere here… sorry for that :slight_smile: However, this post is one of those every coder should …

:astonished: very nice erfajo! Thanks for building upon that example and sharing it. The document conversion was a frustration for a very long time and I too was glad to realize I could use reflection for it (it actually came up here ). The code you shared is great and I’m sure it’s going to help a l…

Good to see you around! :slight_smile:

@john_pierson , My weekend did go totally bananas :slight_smile: I am refactoring all nodes initiating/returning “Document”, “FamilyDocument”, “Parameter”, “FamilyParameter”, and where else I can get a Dynamo type instead of having an Orchid type… It is a huge job to refactor. I am now in the testin…

Very cool erfajo, I can work on getting that implemented on my side as well. Do you have a hint as to which version number you will assign to your DLLs? This would enable me to allow for compatibility for folks who might have an older version installed and I can target accordingly moving forward? *…

I will have to write it when I release… but my numbers are as described below …major number is related to the dynamo version (2.12 = 212) …minor number is a major version number for me (e.g. version 3) …build number is a minor number for me (e.g version 1) …revision is my build number and I use …

[image] erfajo: I am not sure how many nodes you have there relates to Orchid, but if it is not FamilyParameters, then dont anything Sounds good. The only nodes I needed to convert documents on were my collectors. So now I just watch for Revit.Application.Document instead. :slight_smile:

I managed to release 8214, and as promised…“Document”, “FamilyDocument”, “Parameter”, “FamilyParameter” have changed to the alike Dynamo type :slight_smile: It is so nice that we can use reflection to circumvent the limitations for all the shielded classes :slight_smile:

I have released 8217 with even more wrapper classes changed to the alike dynamo type. The converter file is updated as well :slight_smile:
