A note for others using this: in addition to Views that are not on sheets, this also removes ALL View Templates (since they don't have a Sheet Number parameter). Not a big deal when you're archiving or sending to others, but it did make for some extra work to restore the VTs when I ran it on a file I didn't want to. One of those rare times I wish I knew Python coding so I could add that exception to the script.
Sorry about the deleted view templates! That was indeed an oversight on my part. If you use the RV DeepClean plugin mentioned in the video, the view template will be safe. If you prefer to stick with Python though, simply add this to line 56 of the Python node to exclude view templates from deletion: if v.IsTemplate: continue
@@RVBoost thanks for the speedy response! Much appreciated. It's working now for some reason, must have been an error on my side. Thanks so much for the videos! 👊🏽
Thanks for this tutorial. If i want to make a section where both head and tail are the same symbol as the head and show as a blue link on both sides bu default without havint to manually cycle every time how do i achieve that?
Thank you so much for this video. Is it possible to add user initials with a dash after the view name like "VIEW NAME - AZ", for instance, to the "don't delete" list??
Yes, Python can do that! Just search for "regular expression in Python" to see how you can add that logic to the script. I'll also add this as a new feature to RV Deep clean soon, so thanks for the idea! 😀
@@RVBoost So after opening your downloaded file in dynamo, the only thing I changed in the Python script node on line 48 was ["do not delete", "important view", "level 1 - mp", "level 1 - st", "level 1 - yz"] I get Warning: IronPythonEvaluator.EvaluateIronPythonScript operation failed. Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 92, in <module> Exception: One or more of the elementIds cannot be deleted. Parameter name: elementIds Line 92 is tr.Commit() I'm brand new to python and don't know how to correct this. Thanks
The error suggests it couldn't delete some elements. These are probably system elements that Revit protects. You can try to delete elements one by one to see which item caused the error.
If I have downloaded a project, but have made 2 months worth of modifications and have deleted previous save files and just kept the last one, can the file be tracked to where I initially downloaded it from?
@@RVBoost so I’ve deleted all the model history (the other guys username and stuff) so now it’s only shows the last save with my name, would this make it suspicious? Or am I off the hook?
I think this video helped with making the glass transparent? You may need to do graphic overrides in video to grey out elements behind the glass though.
thanks sir really helpful but if you could help me i want to know how can you refresh the selection when only press run in manual mode , not when i switch to periodic
Good tutorial. I am working in 2023 and things are not working the same as in your video. Delete parameter option is not available and you have to undo. I am stuck on the bubble head. I have mine set to 45 degrees. When I set angle parameter to '0 degrees' it rotates on center and when I rotate it back to '45" degrees or another value it does not rotate on center, when setting to '0' it breaks the family. After loading bubble head into the callout family, only 'text 2' is an option and 'text 1' isn't transferring over. Parameters are set up the same. Do you have an email to work this out. Thanks.
AHHHH! Thank you! The second method worked very easily. I was having a hard time finding the cad files anywhere and this is the first time they popped up and was able to select and delete. Thank you again!
