Unclip survey point or pause for user input

[L.Cunningham]

Hi everyone,

I need to unclip a survey point and move it to a specific location. Unfortunately, I don’t believe it is near that simple, because clip state to my knowledge is still not in the API.

Setting the unclipped state of Survey Point and Project Base Point

Hi, Is there a node for setting the unclipped state of Survey Point and Project Base Point? I would like to move these points so that all my files have these points in the same place using Dynamo. We do have Shared Coordinates for all files (works great), but that only solves all Revit-related issues, not IFC or NAVISWORKS issues. We have some new participants in our project that use IFC and everything seem to work better with all files having the same location for PBP and SP. Ive searched …

Moving a Project Base Point inside all linked RVT models and nested link models along the vector X and Y with Dynamo

From The Building Coder blog: The clipped/unclipped state of the base and survey points cannot be set via the API. You can pin them using the Element.Pinned property. The post is rather old but I it seems that not much has changed: http://www.revitapidocs.com/2018.1/f557779b-4e6c-b333-34bb-ed83bce71df9.htm

Help out my API request here.

I need to do all the things in this note before the next portion of the script runs,

I’m not sure if its possible to open the link as the current document, and I know steps 3-5 aren’t possible so what do you guys suggest?

Is there some other way of doing this, should I break this into 2 scripts, find a way to pause for user input, etc.

I do not know how to unclip either, a possible workaround would be leave survey point as 0,0,0 clipped and move the survey point as clipped.

This finally got added to the api in 2021!!!
