Hi

Before, the Change Level tool kept the elements' position in space when changing the reference level, which was very useful, but now the element moves when this tool is used.

This happens for FamilyInstances.

I am working with MEP side of Revit, and changing ref level of Pipes does not move them in space, but fittings (FamilyInstances) move. This was not the case before.

Describe the bug
Hi! It seems that pyRevitMEP's Change Level function doesn't keep the objects in place. Some stay in place already by default in Revit but at least the categories listed in the title still change their elevation when changing the level.

The behavior of MEP objects has changed in some of the latest Revit updates when changing their level and it seems that also some of our Dynamo scripts that are supposed to solve the same problem have become "broken" in these newer versions. Not that those Dynamo scripts are of your concern, but I'm trying to give guesses about the underlying problem.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Trying to change the level of any object that belongs to the listed categories moves it (or tries to move it and gives error if the network can't cope with it) according to the difference in level height.

Expected behavior
I suppose the objects would be expected to stay in the same elevation when using pyRevitMEP's Change Level function.

Versions (please complete the following information):

• Revit: 2020.2
• pyRevit: 4.8.4
• pyRevitMEP 3df8e78
• rocket mode activated : Yes
• ironpython engine : 2.7.7
• cpython engine : 3.8.5 (pyRevit's About page reports "0", but in Core Settings it's listed as 385)

Describe the bug
Hello Cyril,

TODO

Here's what my window looks like, and what I was trying to do. Wanted to rotate the angular fitting part with the attached duct selected. Have tried rebooting the PC after the installation, but the error persist. Am I using this tool wrong?

I just installed pyRevit and installed pyRevitMEP automatic through the pyRevit Extension Manager, so I should have the newest version.

IronPython Traceback:

Need to create or retrieve definition from a definition file instead ? Would type casting work ?

How can i manual pyRevitMEP on pyRevit?

I have clone pyRevitMEP from Github and place the map pyRevitMEP.tab in the extension map on C:/pyRevit/

But now i get the follow notification:

I think he's looking for the "lib" directory. This directory is in the clone from GitHub.
Must i place this on a specific directory?

Thanks for the effort

Hi when I try to Select Object from Change Level feature my Revit gets fatal error and it crashes

Describe the bug
Family Parameter editor crashes when attempting to commit new family parameters, whether from Shared Parameters or Family parameters. (Code workaround included)

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'Manage Project Parameters'
2. Create a parameter (or import from shared parameter file)
3. Click the checkmark. This results in a log window error.
4. Clicking checkmark again will crash Revit.

Expected behavior
Expected parameter to be added to the family and be accessible in native RVT tools.

Screenshots
Not included

Versions (please complete the following information):

• Revit: 2022.0.2.392
• pyRevit: 4.8.12
• pyRevitMEP afec142
• rocket mode activated : Yes
• ironpython engine : 2.7.7
• cpython engine : 3.8.5

Additional context
The problem is in managefamily.py, near line 105. pyRevitMEP is attempting to determine if the Shared Parameter file is in Unicode or UTF-8 encoding, but the pyRevit function in coreutils.check_revittxt_encoding() is no longer present in 4.8.12 (or maybe earlier). Temporary workaround: My Shared Parameter file was Unicode-encoded so edit %Appdata%\pyRevit\Extensions\PyRevitMEP.extension\lib\pyrevitmep\parameter\managefamily.py near line 103:

1. Comment out the if..else
   #if script.coreutils.check_revittxt_encoding(src_file):
   # encoding = "utf_16_le"
   #else:
   # encoding = "utf_8"
2. Insert at the same level of tab indentation
   encoding = "utf_16_le" # or "utf-8" if yours is that encoding. Doing this without knowing will corrupt your shared parameters file, so make a backup.
3. Save file, disable pyRevitMEP and re-enable into pyRevit

I get an error for a missing excel icon =)

When I tried out renaming my views with your tool, I could not edit the formula for the name generation. All I did was click into the given values. When no cursor appeared, I clicked again. I did not count the number of times I clicked but I ended up with a Revit crash screen sending my data off to Autodesk. I only tried out floor plans so the other entries may be fine.

steps

• Get rid of eval function
• Improve to allow usage with ironpython 3.4

Versions (please complete the following information):

• Revit: 2023.1
• pyRevit: 4.8.13
• pyRevitMEP: 92d9398
• rocket mode activated : Yes
• ironpython engine : 3.4
• cpython engine : 3.8.5

I tried to use the fuction, was on search for that for long time.

was confused to see for the first Section created with "Mur None" as name, next section was named "Section 1" and ongoing. I dont know, if this is a bug or only missunderstanding about the functions.

also confusing is, that there is no description, to first select the elements, than go to "CreateSectionFrom"

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. start with nosections in project
2. create walls
3. select walls
4. "CreateSectionFrom"
5. see first section named " Mur None"
6. second section is "Section 1"
7. when doing something different or changing the "Prefix" it will create the following Section with the new prefix and will continue with others with "Section * "

Expected behavior

Versions (please complete the following information):

• Revit:2020.2.9
• pyRevit:
• pyRevitMEP
• rocket mode activated : Yes
• ironpython engine : 2.7.7
• cpython engine : 3.8.5

Hi,
I used "create a new empty definition file (standard revit shared parameter file) and then used save parameters to definition file. Every work fine and when i open the text file everything looks good.
When i try to use this definition file to bring in some of the shared parameters to a new projects, nothing is showing up. I don't get any error regarding the file, but no parameter shows. I have tried using revit and also Load from definition file in your tool !!!!
Could you please share the codes that write the parameters to the definitions file, so i could have a look. Thanks

When elements are selected and "Delete Button" is pressend nothing happens.

If I put an print "something" statement in the Execute method,
just before the self.dothis() function call nothing happens too.

editnr1:
REvit version 2019
latest pyrevit version, 4.7.4
latest extensions. latest pyrevitMEP extension.

The External Event_delete Sample_script works. Meaning. The Execute Method is fired.
selected objects are deleted.

edit nr2:
The ExternalEvent_delete Sample_script does not work either:

When you comment out the last line.
"ExternalEventMy.Execute(handler_event, uidoc)", (which should not be needed.)

When the event is raised: exEvent.Raise() the Execute method of the ExternalEventMy class
should fire. But it doesn't.

When you copy and paste the whole code (except the last line) in to RPS, after exiting the RPS.
selected objectts are deleted ---> Execute method is invoked. Selected objects are deleted.

The external Event.Raise() does not work, when starting the script from a button in pyrevit.

When you do this with C# in an Revit Macro this works.
See the youtube vid: 5 Secrets of Revit API coding.
But I haven't figuered everything out yet.

Thank you very much for your script though. huge Inspiration.

Hi,
I tried the code from here but I got an exception.

My installed Versions
Revit: 19.2.10.7
pyRevit: 4.7.4

What I did:

1. Saved the code from here to a file.
2. Open a Revit project
3. Open the saved code from Revit -> Add-Ins -> Interactive Python Shell -> Open Python Script
4. Run the Script

The Result is:

IronPython 2.7.7 (2.7.7.0) on .NET 4.0.30319.42000 (64-bit)

What have I done wrong.

Regards, Andreas

When initiating this tool I get a crash in Revit 2019.2.10.7 before I even select the item.
Any advice?

drawing a wall or Curtain Wall creates a direction.
could it be possible to get the direktion marked in the drawings? and create Sections on the oposide? maybe by clicking in direction?

F.ex. I would like to create Wall-Sections/Elevations of a Octogon Room. with Revit Build In functions this is not possible. but when I have drawn in wrong direction, all sections will be outside.

I tryied to use fucnction RoomToSpace for the first time. But there is no manual for it. How to use ?
Do you have to copy rooms to your own model and create spaces before use this function ?
Or You have to create just spaces and function will suck data from rooms from linked model ?
Or does function do all above mentioned on its own ?

do I have to have selected Rooms before application of functions ? or do i have to have selected spaces ?
or do i have to have selected both - spaces + rooms before application function ?

ot of questions arise when the error window occurs and user sipmly is not sure if he did not use the proper way

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. no matter the questions above, i tried to copy rooms from linked model to my model and ad afterwards i created the spaces (only on one level from more leveled model-building).
2. I clicked RoomToSpace function
3. error occured

Expected behavior
room data from rooms would be copied to spaces

Describe the bug
When I want to use Duct transition function, it flushes error window and not connect the ducts
in various cases as seen in videos below.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. open model with ducts
2. use function duct_transition
3. sometimes You see an error message and no duct is connected.
   3b. sometimes You may connect the same pair of ducts but cursor with "red crossed circle" is visible on cursor - you must clic on Esc button to escape function.
4. See errors appeared on the recorded videos on two models :
   random ducts in simple model, as in YT video :
   https://youtu.be/DS4RA2pmcFI
   (simple duct model dowloadable in .rvt file of Revit 2019 here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1r6CMlMo7Z78LQokI9wXii1a068XsVpmk )
   in original project of ventilation system BIM model - video 2:
   https://youtu.be/-fM6iFVm9aU

my assumption is function has bigger troubles to connect ducts which are not actually attachet in some system (unattached) from existing. but this behaviour is also seen in ducts attached to some system.

Expected behavior
Function wil connect ducts wether they are attached or are not attached to some system.
Function will not show error messages.

Hi. I really appreciate if you could revise the docstrings to be more specific and exactly explain what the tool does and what conditions need to be set for the tool to work properly. For example on the Rename Views tools the user would want to know:

• What is the naming convention?
• If they need to select the views first?
• What happens if the view name already exists?
• Would the Title of Sheet property would also be affected?

I would love to be able to align an elevation view to a wall. Right now to tool works if i align the wall to the elevation, but I need to do the opposite.

Sorry, I have a report a bug because I can't pull a request.

I would like to add an function to hide a element in a view like :

Can you make it or explain how I can help you ?

I have done it without dynamo :
