Hi, all.

I want to show the dynamo script results using ‘Watch node’.

![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/a/8/a8a369e2c6217a4efe576085d2647d190e2e9a9c.png)

but the ‘watch node’ didn’t show up in the Dynamo player.

I already checked ‘Show Labels’ and save it.  
Even though I save this file, when I open this script in dynamo player, the watch node cannot show up.  
Did you have a similar problem? or do you have any other ideas to show the results?

Thank you.

I think, you only have to change the name of the watch node

@Johannes_Meiners

Oh! I didn’t know that.  
It is really simple thing, haha.

Thank you!

On top of that I have another question: Could I make the List that I see in Dynamo Player to zoom on the specific element I click on (as watch does in dynamo workspace) in Revit?

Hello, I have the same problem in Dynamo 2.03. I changed the name of my watch node from the default “watch” as per the advice above. The node is set like this:

what’s going on?

Hello,

You should put an Output node after the watch node. You find it here:

I tried adding that Output node after the watch node and I still get the same result as @MuirEng
