Viewport Types - Set Title Family Type

Revit
1

Hello Dynamo Friends :slight_smile:

I managed to create new viewport types by duplicating existing ones.

Now i want to set the title annotation family for that type.

Would really appreciate any information and help on this topic.

Kind regards :slight_smile:

def duplicate_viewport_type():
    uidoc = __revit__.ActiveUIDocument
    doc = uidoc.Document

    builtInParameter = BuiltInParameter.SYMBOL_FAMILY_NAME_PARAM
    rule = ParameterFilterRuleFactory.CreateEqualsRule(ElementId(int(builtInParameter)), "Viewport", False)
    filter = ElementParameterFilter(rule)

    viewport_types = FilteredElementCollector(doc).WhereElementIsElementType().WherePasses(filter)
    duplicated_viewport_type = None
    for viewport_type in viewport_types:
        transaction = Transaction(doc, "Duplicate Viewport Type")
        transaction.Start()

        try:
            name_parameter = viewport_type.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.SYMBOL_NAME_PARAM)
            name = name_parameter.AsString()
            duplicated_viewport_type = viewport_type.Duplicate(name + " copy")
            print("Viewport type '{}' duplicated successfully.".format(name))
            transaction.Commit()
            break
        except Exception as e:
            transaction.RollBack()
            print("Failed to duplicate viewport type.\nError: {}".format(e))

    return duplicated_viewport_type

viewport_type = duplicate_viewport_type()
