hi Everyone, I’m looking for a bit of assistance with the below thread: [image] How to set Viewport Type? Revit [image] got that fixed by getting the most recent package…however it doesnt seem to work on schedules. The method shown by Konrad is clear enough to follow, but it relies on the viewport type being in use (within the project) and using indexes to filter the element to obtain the element with the desired parameter value. What I’m after is setting my viewports to a specific type by name “No Title”. Is there a way to list the value types like we can do with Family.Types Node? Thanks,

This modification was for test purposes only…to see what kind of parameter values you have in your project. It seems that you should look for “View Title” string instead of “M_View Tilte” (as was in my code)… so you can try this one…hope it works now for you import clr clr.AddReference('RevitAPI') import Autodesk from Autodesk.Revit.DB import * #The inputs to this node will be stored as a list in the IN variables. clr.AddReference('RevitServices') import RevitServices from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument collector = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(ElementType).ToElements() viewportTypes = [] for e in collector: p = e.LookupParameter("Title") if not p is None: if "View Title" in p.AsValueString(): viewportTypes.append(e) #Assign your output to the OUT variable. OUT = viewportTypes [Przechwytywanie]

This python code should work: import clr clr.AddReference('RevitAPI') import Autodesk from Autodesk.Revit.DB import * #The inputs to this node will be stored as a list in the IN variables. clr.AddReference('RevitServices') import RevitServices from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument collector = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(ElementType).ToElements() viewportTypes = [] for e in collector: p = e.get_Parameter("Title") if not p is None: if p.AsValueString()=="M_View Title": viewportTypes.append(e) #Assign your output to the OUT variable. OUT = viewportTypes [Przechwytywanie]

hi @maciek.glowka, Thanks for the quick response and with a custom piece of python! I’ve tried using your python and I’m getting the following error… [image] I also tried it as you have it shown (nothing connected to the “IN[0]” Port). [image] Any ideas? Thanks,

I was testing on a quite old Revit version. I think in a newer API you might wanna use LookupParameter instead of get_Parameter…Sorry about that. As of the IN part - nothing should be connected

hi @maciek.glowka, I have done as directed and replaced: p = e.get_Parameter ("Title") with p = e.LookupParameter ("Title") [image] The code is erroring this time but its not finding any information either. Thanks,

Hmm…I’ve tried on a newer Revit version and it worked…maybe your types have different title names eg. Can you maybe upload the file to examine? Or you could also change part of the code to this: for e in collector: p = e.LookupParameter("Title") if not p is None: viewportTypes.append(p.AsValueString()) and see what titles come out [Przechwytywanie]

hi @maciek.glowka, I have modified the code as required. Getting information from the python script node but its erroring on the Element.Name as the output from the python are strings. [image] [image] maciek.glowka: maybe your types have different title names In regards this, I have a few types yes. The View Titles are duplicating as the option shown extension is checked in one and unchecked in the other. The View Title that appears three titles as it covers the types: no line, with line and Show Title unchecked. (Took me a while to work out that what is being shown is the “Title” value under the type properties for the viewports). In regards to document upload… View Title Assistance Sample.rvt (1.3 MB) Thanks for your continued help. :slight_smile:

HI @Kulkul, Yes that looks like what i’m after. How did you get that list to appear? As there are 9 “Element Types” with the 9 viewport type references were each assigned to a view prior to the extraction? Thanks,

[image] ben.dowling: How did you get that list to appear? As there are 9 “Element Types” with the 9 viewport type references were each assigned to a view prior to the extraction? Hahaha That’s the magic with few lines of python :sunglasses: import clr clr.AddReference('RevitAPI') import Autodesk from Autodesk.Revit.DB import * clr.AddReference('RevitServices') import RevitServices from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument fec = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(ElementType).ToElements() vpt = [] names=[] for f in fec: p = f.LookupParameter('Title') if not p is None: vpt.append(f) names = [Element.Name.__get__(i) for i in vpt] OUT = vpt, names Please mark the post as solved. You’re Welcome!

hi @Kulkul, Would love to do so but I’ve got another error popping up… [image] Is there something I need to download or something? Thanks,
