Very useful thank you very much for Posting. I wonder how I can create Areas and Levels. My floor plans are too large to fit on the sheet. I have subdivided each level into different areas. I end up with about 200+ views that i need to create, so any time savings would be greatly appreciated!!
Amazing video. Can we assign different scope boxes to the relevant views automatically - may be by reading excel file? I've been trying that since long but couldn't work that script out.
thanks for your presentation, i've got the ceiling plan but i didn't got ke floor plans or i got it with the ceiling directory !! is it depends the templete structure or artchetect ??
Thank you for your sharing, I face a problem at the end It said (Sheet Name is already in use. Parameter name Sheet Number) Please help me to resolve it.
I am using this script to create multiple sets of views with different view templates applied, however when I run the script a second time (even with changing the naming convention to something different), instead of creating new views with the new names, it renames the views from the first run with the new names - so I am stuck with one set of view instead of the desired outcome of two differently named sets of views. Any ideas on why this would be happening?
good stuff. one of the things i have found is when you use drop down based nodes each version that the API changes can re-order the drop downs and requires maintenance.
what a nice video Evolve Lab. However, i had problems executing the very last Phase of automatically placing the views onto their respective sheets due to size Issues. Any Insight on what to do?
Hello Akaeme, you might have to create smaller views via scope boxes first so they fit on your respective sheet. Please see Part 2 where I show how to create scope boxes and dependent views. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_BueuOT787w.html
Thank you so much! But i have a question: it is possible to rename views in a progressive way? i mean to get "Level 1 - First Floor", "Level 2 - Second Floor", ect...
Thank you so much for the videos. They are very useful. I have request to make.. I'm working on my Doctorate research proposal in the area of BIM optimization and 7D BIM, and since you defiantly have more work experience than me in the bim area I wanted to ask you.. What are the subjects that you think need more focus in research to improve BIM? Would very much appreciate your feedback.
I have been attempting to do this for my own project but am getting stuck trying to name my sheets? We have multiple naming sections for Originator - Level - Zone ect and getting the script to assign the data to the correct label/parameter is difficult. Any advice?
Hi Joseph, it's the "View Template applied to new views" and "New views are dependent on template" parameters in the type properties of floor plans/reflected ceiling plans.
I am having the same error “view 0 can not be packed”-the sheet is3.5x..... there has not been any replies the praevious posts of this error. Any help will be appreciated.

@@EvolveLABio How can we just make it resize the view ... for instance we want the entire floorplan of a building on a sheet, just scaled down so it fits. Surely dynamo can do this automatically without us having to resize everything manually?
could i use this with linked Models? because we are a PART of the overall project, setting up floor plans and ceiling is a lot of work. thanks, a greenie.
Hello! When you put the views on the sheets, they get placed in the corner and you have to move them to the center of the sheet manually. Is there a way to tell Dynamo to place the views in the center of the sheet?
here's the thing, you'd have to do that every time you want to create all of this while he just had to di it this one time for all his future projects. the next time he wants to do this it'll take him only ten seconds while you'd have to redo all the work
Having watched technicians do this the 'dumb' way many times, I highly doubt that. Not to mention, who the heck wants to actually do this manually?! It's painfully dull. This solution is scale-able also. If you run this for a 2 story house, or a 200 story tower it will take roughly the same amount of effort and time. Meanwhile, the manual method will take longer depending on project size. As Sid rightfully identified it is reusable on most project types with little tweaking required if it's tailored to a company standard. This type of counterproductive mindset to automation is the reason our industry is falling behind when it comes to innovation, and we are going to see it get heavily disrupted as a result. Looking forward to it.
