Hi everyone, It has been a very long time since I have posted and indeed since I have used Dynamo. I am currently working in Dynamo Revit 2.16.1.6510 and Revit 2023.1. I have created a super basic script using the latest versions of Orchid, Data-Shapes and clockwork. I know the upgrade went from 2 to 3, but how do I modify these Python nodes to get them to work with the script? I thought that the updated packages would contain python 3 but it appears they dont. Here is the script I put together just to test ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/0/8/086e3fb6cb33a74e99158460e4c61e0529bb5456.png) When I save the file and reopen, this is the message I get: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/2/a/2a811521eb47d29383a9bbb8d1316ea535b30466.png) When I install the requested IronPython2 dependency, nothing happens. I’m just a little unsure of the process now days if someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate that. thanks a lot! ---

@Sigma , you can download it from the package manager both Ironpython2 Ironpython3 ![grafik](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/1/1/111813352ab6a360640c96357496950dfbfad139.png) KR Andreas ---

Hi @Draxl_Andreas Thanks, I do currently have them both installed, but when I run nothing happens, just blanks across the board. Anything else that it could be? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/7/d/7d8925051f6f08c0cf40e981a85ab6cde5ed69ed.png) ---

@Sigma , seems to be in the clockwork node… …data-shapes works well i got GUIs ![grafik](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/e/e/ee6cb8067188cab7f1076f1d5f2e922969a00285.png) ![2023-07-25_13h28_18](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/3/d/3df2102fadc4b67c0e3f929a35daf6ad95216e76.png) thats the code… ```auto import System import clr clr.AddReference('RevitAPI') from Autodesk.Revit.DB import * import Autodesk clr.AddReference("RevitNodes") import Revit clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.Elements) clr.AddReference("RevitServices") import RevitServices from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager inputdoc = UnwrapElement(IN[1]) if inputdoc == None: doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument elif inputdoc.GetType().ToString() == "Autodesk.Revit.DB.RevitLinkInstance": doc = inputdoc.GetLinkDocument() elif inputdoc.GetType().ToString() == "Autodesk.Revit.DB.Document": doc = inputdoc else: doc = None version = IN[2] names = [] cats = [] vag = [] pgs = [] pts = [] uts = [] isvis = [] elems = [] guids = [] isinst = [] bics = [] iterator = doc.ParameterBindings.ForwardIterator() while iterator.MoveNext(): vag.append(iterator.Key.VariesAcrossGroups) names.append(iterator.Key.Name) pgs.append(iterator.Key.ParameterGroup) if version > 2021: pts.append(iterator.Key.GetDataType()) uts.append(iterator.Key.GetDataType()) else: pts.append(iterator.Key.ParameterType) uts.append(iterator.Key.UnitType) isvis.append(iterator.Key.Visible) elem = doc.GetElement(iterator.Key.Id) elems.append(elem) if elem.GetType().ToString() == 'Autodesk.Revit.DB.SharedParameterElement': guids.append(elem.GuidValue) else: guids.append(None) if iterator.Current.GetType().ToString() == 'Autodesk.Revit.DB.InstanceBinding': isinst.append(True) else: isinst.append(False) thesecats = [] builtincats = [] for cat in iterator.Current.Categories: try: thesecats.append(Revit.Elements.Category.ById(cat.Id.IntegerValue)) except: # Return null if category is not supported by Dynamo # This way the user knows there are unsupported categories assigned thesecats.append(None) builtincats.append(System.Enum.ToObject(BuiltInCategory, cat.Id.IntegerValue)) cats.append(thesecats) bics.append(builtincats) OUT = (names,cats,vag, pgs, pts, uts, isvis, elems, guids, isinst, bics) ``` KR Andreas ---

Thanks so much, you’re right, it’s something to do with the clockwork node. I replaced it with an Orchid one for now to at least get the data, thanks for that. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/6/9/69380a6fa87751edc76b297f897d1847db53d43a.png) ---

Hi, Andreas. Is it enough though to install the python packages? I got this weird issue with Genius Loci package which used to worked perfectly, now some nodes do, others don’t. Related to Legend Component, I used it the Create Legend Component effortlessly in previous versions, now it stopped working. I switched manually the python version and ran the utility, but still nothing. The only Legend Component related node from GL that I could still use as a workaround method (use a template of legend and just switch the types) is Select by View. However, this node is still using Python 2, I haven’t updated it yet. So what other methods to update to the newest Python for all packages are there? For example Genius Loci is the latest version so I didn’t even think it needs updating. What am I doing wrong? Hope this is not too all over the place and explanation. Thanks in advance! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/9/1/91564d4c5e1639304267481990de90833589cfb1.png) ---

> [@PBO](#): > > Is it enough though to install the python packages? I got this weird issue with Genius Loci package which used to worked perfectly, now some nodes do, others don’t. Hi, I confirm that it is enough to install the DynamoIronPython2.7 package for the _Genius Loci_ package nodes to work normally. You don’t have to take any editing action. ---

Good old package reinstall did the trick, apollogies for reopening the subject.
