Hi Gavin, does this one also work on call-out views? Tried something similar in Dynamo (not using python), where the call-out didn't report correctly the elements hidden it that view, but only reported the elements hidden in the view where the call-out was based on.

Hi Gavin, excellent video as always and so so useful script. I followed your video and it works. We do have a model where we've linked the individual buildings and it's a nightmare to unhide the hidden elements within the links. Is there a way we could modify the script to search into the links as well? At the minute it counts the link itself as an element. Many thanks.

Hello Gavin, it would be great if you make a video about Saving a New Central File to Revit Server using Dynamo. There is a C# code on thebuildingcoder blog, but nothing about how to make the same using Dynamo.
Thanks for your videos!

I'm using a working script that can get text visible inside a cropped view even if the text is at the crop boundary (which is hidden by the crop). The problem is if I close and re-open the script it then only gets the text that is actually visible in the view (no text in boundary). I've used several filters but I get the same weird behavior. Still need to test your script but something I noticed.

Hi Gavin! Ive recently had a discussion about one exotic topic - strategy of software updates in a company. Like every company has this document and every year updates Revit to a new version. My question is - is it true, that all modern (as he said) western companies create such strategy and update Revit every year?
