Auto-Documentation With Dynamo! Part 2 - Creating and Assigning Dependent Views to Scope Boxes

In this free dynamo training, we will look at how to automatically create parent views, dependent views, and assign scope boxes to dependent views in Revit with the power of Dynamo. Clockwork Package needed. If you are interested in downloading the dynamo script, you can access it on our website under www.evolvelab....

Thank you so much, that was super helpful :) Much appreciated for quick response.

Great stuff! I can't wait for more!

Went through to create consolidation node for names, in a code block: str1@L1 + Seperator + str2@@L1; Will output the cross product with the separator from the input in a code block.

Great one, I have an interesting problem to resolve! Lets say A0 SHEET contains these 4 dependent VIEWS of each level. How could we duplicate a SHEET which has these 4 different VIEWS and allign them in the right place for all floor levels. If this is resolved this would be a blast!!! GOOD LUCK!

Thank you dear,,, can you create a script for automatically generating plot coordinates... i believe it must be really interesting ....

[@albertosanchez276]

Very Helpful! thank you!! Would this workflow be able to incorporate levels and scope boxes from linked files?

Ar last u did some setting in set parameters by name ...l2 ...nd lacing should be longest .....why???any funda plz.....thanku nice one

[@leoistari]

I have a doubt, why does it need to be manual? when I change it to automatic Revit and Dynamo stop reacting

[@jrreed1634]

When you combine the level and unit name that creates the correct sorted list for the dependent views when I am following along. Our naming scheme is opposite though UNIT 'A' FIRST FLOOR PLAN. If I edit to join the lists in that way though it doesn't create the correct dependent views because now they are grouped by the scope box instead of the level. Is there a way to get our naming scheme but grouped by level in the list to feed to the dependent view node??

thank you for your fantastic videos and I hope you the best. I have Revit Ver 2021 with Dynamo Ver 2.6.2 for which I did not find Clockwork package. Is there other packages like that for using your Dynamo code?

[@igoruzon285]

Can something like this be used for automatic creation of wall, beam and column sections? Both vertical and horizontal sections of every element? As i am using revit for concrete formwork creation, this would be very helpful.

[@iftekharkhan8879]

At 1.32 scope box i saw there r already Area a,Area b,Area c in scope box....how come??

[@zachgrajewski]

With the last "element.setParameterByName" node, I keep getting the error " The Parameter's storage type is not a string", am I doing something wrong with my code block as input to that? the script still generates the views and names them correctly, it just doesn't assign them a scope box. Sorry if this question is super basic. Thanks!

Hi Zach, can you confirm you put you made the area names string nodes?

[@iftekharkhan8879]

At 11.43 ..time....u created node floor plan by level...why...at starting it's already show many levels in project then why u created here???

[@EvolveLABio]

@lftekhar, we needed to create the floor plans from the "many levels" in the project.

Plz reply bro...tganku
