Hi guys,

Sure this has been solved somewhere but can’t find it.

I’ve been trying to delete a list of view templates in a project from a filtered list by string ‘RC’
No clear which node to use at the end to delete the actual elements - I’ve tried Springs and Archi-lab but still not working smoothly.

Can you run the graph and repost the images as a camera export? We aren’t seeing any error here.

Zoom in so you can easily read a node, and click the camera button in the top right corner of your Dynamo window.

You’re feeding strings not elements to the List.FilterByBoolMask. Wire the elements in as the list and you will see different results. :slight_smile:

It doesn’t work on 3D view templates tho

I recall those are a special beast attached to a bug which @Andreas_Dieckmann files awhile back. Can’t recall which node, but he mentions this in a description somewhere along the way. It may be on your graph already so check there first.

@jacob.small - That’s an old one with a bit of history and apparently still unfixed. I opened a new issue for it and referenced all the relevant previous issues and PRs. FYI @Konrad_K_Sobon

I think this works for C#, but could probably be translated for python?

FilteredElementCollector 3DviewCollector= new FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass( typeof( View3D ) );
