Python in Dynamo: View Sun Settings (API 3)

We continue exploring Dynamo, Python and Revit API by taking on a more abstract class and focus; view sun/shadow settings. This node can be useful for generating ranges of views by time of day.

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.

This is similar to what we previously discussed! Good to have it as a Python script. Great work Gavin!

Suggestion: duct transition maker
There is a cool little function for making MEP transitions that i know engineers would love, it goes doc.Create.NewTransitionFitting(con1, con2) where doc is the active document, con1 and con2 are open connectors that are to be joined via transitions. You can get unused (open) connectors from elements via where ele is element.
There is a catch that the both connectors have to belong to same system and the transition that is set up in pipe routing setting has to be flexible (can change length, and has x & y offset)
This can be made in a single line of code, and it really shows the power of the API. Transitions that have to be offset in both x and y direction are a pain in the but to make, and always eat up a few minuets.

Hi AussieBIMGuru
Been learning and enjoying lots from ur videos
I'd love to know how you set up your views and sheets for town planning vs working drawings.
Do u duplicate views and elevations and just sort the sheets into folders? I thought that duplicating elevations and views could be quite counter productive but not sure as I'm mainly a self taught user!
