Create Floor Plans using Dynamo! (Views to Sheets 1/3)

Today’s video focused on how to set up sets of floor plan views automatically using Dynamo in Autodesk Revit. This session is part 1 of 3 in my workflow that deals with automating each step along the way of getting new views onto sheets.

I hope you enjoy the session and learn something new! Feel free to comment any feedback/questions below, or follow my channel if you enjoyed this.

Hi Gavin, this is amazing so thanks for posting it. I am having one little (well big for me) problem. I can't find the view templates node (the one with the drop down). Do you have another way of finding it besides typing the name of the node. Thanks in advance, Allan

Hi Gavin,
Thank you for your useful tutorial. Can we automatically change the level type from the default type to another custom type using Dynamo? Do I need to use Python script?

How do you keep the levels from being renamed everytime you run? I have overall and Enlarged plans with different scope boxes.

Hello again mate. At the scope box step, the script is only applying a scope box to one of my floor plans. All the floor plans are created each with the desired template but only one with a scope box as I say. I've gone through it a few times but I can seem to work it out.

Is it better to have two scripts like first create the floor plans and then create a separate script to add those views to the sheets and create sheets? ... Or can we combine both scripts to one master script?

Please can you help, I can't find the View Templates node

[MazaKaalikas]

Hi Gavin. Great video! I am havig trouble with finding the View Templates node. It's not in any of the archi-lab.net package versions anymore. Is there some other way of assigning a view template to a view that is being created?

[muratusta]

Dear Gavin, i couldn't find this topic's script on your Github profile. Script name is either true or same ?

[afreteur]

Is the "view templates" node from a package ?

[debbiketchum]

Can you show the settings for the Sorting Project parameters used in the View templates?

[jaykiser]

I was trying to replicate this script but the View Template node is no longer available. I can't seem to find an alternative for this step. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance!

How can I choose just CeilingPlanView or FloorPlanView in one file dynamo?

[Iosconvolto]

What if i want to create a new plan set? with this script he overwrites the views without creating new ones.
