What to do with Scope Box with dynamo?

Good morning,

I have done a lot of research into Scope boxes. During my research I discovered that this question was already present in 2015. And even today questions on this subject come back.

The creation of Scope boxes is not possible at the moment, I use revit 2022 and now revit 2024 allows management of the height of the boxes. But some questions on the forum talk about which we can hardly duplicate. Could you please explain to me how to duplicate.

At least the way you found?

Thank you for your feedback on this subject.

not sure something here could help

To be sure you understand, did you use a package to be able to duplicate and move?

yeah for copy by vector i use clockwork, for move by vector i use ootb, but could probably be done with set location as well

To provide some feedback on this topic:
During my learning period, I was tasked with creating a complete Dynamo script for creating levels. In our Revit workflow, we require scope boxes. So, I was able to duplicate Scope Boxes using native Dynamo.

How I did it: I simply calculated the elevation at which I wanted to place the new Scope Box.
Then, I retrieved the ones already present in our project and created a model group with Dynamo. I then placed an instance of this group in Revit, giving it a reference level.
I also managed the Scope Box naming and height, which is now possible since Revit 2024. Finally, I had to ungroup the base Scope Box in the project, as well as the new one.

In terms of coordinates, I retrieved the group.location from the base Scope Box to place my new instance exactly aligned with the one below.

I know it’s possible to do this using external nodes, but we don’t use any external nodes at our company.

Here is the packages:

If this can help anyone with this issue, I’d be happy to help.
