This is one of the best "Dynamo for Revit" introductions I've ever seen. It combines both simplicity with power. It shows how Dynamo, among other things, lets you interact with Revit in a way the graphics screen can't. I love it. This video is a stroke of genius. Thank you!

So does an array require a different node? The presentation was great btw.

When you array an object in Revit it makes a group of those objects. It could have been something with the way it was grouped or you were selecting it. Arrays do add a level of complexity to how you select and rotate objects!

I use revit to detail pipe spools. I create BOM's that contain simple descriptions of the end treatments for each spool in my project. for example if I am working with flange pipe, the description would be Flange by Flange, If I am working with Bell by Spigot plain end my description would be Bell by Plain End etc. I have always manually typed in this description for every piece but I am curious to know if something like this can be done with a dynamo script? Some how revit would need to recognize different styles of pipe connectors and be able to auto populate a pipe end treatment description. One of the main reasons I would like to automate my process is when I have revisions come in, These end treatments can change quite a bit and it would help with accuracy if I change the drawing and forget to update the new description.
