This is exactly what I had to do today, saved so much time! Here are the steps: 1. Destination project needs at least one legend. 2. Select sheet/sheets from the project you wish to copy from. 3. From the Drawing Set panel in the pyRevit tab, select the Copy Selected Sheets to Open Documents tool. 4. Within the copy from selected views dialog box choose the destination project, 5. Choose the desired sheets, 6. Choose which Schedules, Viewports, and Titleblocks to include. Great Tool!
Can you please help? I am trying copying full sheets from one project to another using pyRevit. Don't know were went wrong because is just copying the sheets without the viewports. thanks
Hi, is this helping just for Drafting views or for model views too? I have two models which contains some sheets, but people have been produced work in both Revit Models (Facade & Core). I wish to merge all the sheets in one Revit model file. I wish to understand if works just for Drafting views or for the actual views as plans, sections, callouts... Please if you could advise me, it would be very helpful! Thanks a lot, Maria
Hey. Yes the tool works with drafting views and 2d elements only. Moving 3d views with 3d content was a lot more challenging when I was creating that tool
for notes and typical details; REvit experienced firms typically have a database that has all of this within a Revit project that you "insert view" from. How is this better?
I was trying to copy placeholder sheets from one project to another (as placeholders only, I didn't want any actual sheets created). On the "select copy options" window, which now has 7 check boxes, none of them really apply in this situation, but if you leave them all unchecked nothing copies. It seems like at least one has to be checked or it doesn't work. I found that selecting "copy viewports" works. Placeholder sheets copied to open projects as placeholder sheets. I was having trouble finding any instructions for this anywhere, so just wanted to throw that out there in case anyone else has the same question.
If I can yes but it's quite challenging since model views have 3d coordinates and associated levels. It might require a lot of user interface to ask the user where to create the matching views.
First - extremely useful - thank you! Any way to suppress popping warning about renaming groups? Like"Type "Group 204" has been renamed to "Group 843" to avoid conflicts with the existing Element." Have hundreds of those...
There are ways to intercept Revit warnings and make decisions through API but at this point pyRevit does not have any interceptors built in. You need to create that yourself.
Is it also able to copy sheets with elevation and or plan views of the model itself to the other project and not just drafting views and or legends. And will it automatically update in other project when you change something in the original project?
They're model views and can't be copy/pasted. They need to be recreated and since buildings are usually not identical in projects, moving model views does not make sense.
Hi have agood day. I had two seperate models for level-1 and level-2 respectively for one project and both had drawings. Know i want to combine them as one model. And i have to copy sheets along with its plan views and sections to other other model. Please advise.
I would probably import one model into the other, and then setup the remaining sheet manually. pyRevit could move the sheets except for the model views.
