Python in Dynamo: Create Sheets (API 1)

I have seen examples of what to use and when but what do see as the reason to use API versus dynamo? Code v Node is what i have seen. They dont really break it down into when to use either or just a how much of a headache to you want.

True, Learning the entire API is almost impossible, but if you learn entire API then you can create new version of Revit 😁


Again your video is easy to understand, but i need to practice more-then before.😃

I can't wait to sink my teeth into these videos and see what I can do with them.. great work as always! 👍🏼

Great script Gavin! I'm planning to create a series on this using Dynamo's DesignScript

That was very informative. Thank you for sharing! :)

Great stuff Gavin! Really enjoying watching and learning from your whole collection.
I went to your Github and grabbed the Crumple package. Unfortunately, when the package is located in my Dynamo 2.0 package directory, my entire open Revit application disappears (closes without any warning whatsoever) when I try to open Dynamo. Any thoughts on why this may be happening? No issues at all if I remove the package from the Dynamo 2.0 package directory. Thanks and keep up the great work!

Nice script ... I have an idea to add on to this script... more related to detail sheets .. Have you tried creating views and/ or creating section views using dynamo.. and using dynamo to place views on sheets?

Thank you for your work man!

How to download the Crumpler package?

Thanks Gavin,,,

Thanks Gavin !..Incredible tutorial as always.
Yet, i was wondering if I have a list of lists (list of walls at each level for example)..Main list that include 10 lists each one include 100 walls is there a way to carry out a process (like join walls) in python that work that would only try join walls on the level to avoid unnecessary operation and cut run time.

thanks, Gavin your videos are so great. could you explain how to change family properties like changing the timber columns to concrete ones using Dynamo in a building project? I have seen someone who used python script but did not work for me.

pure gold man.
keep it up.
cannot thank you enough.

I Gavin, do you know a place to begin learning civil 3D API? Thank you

Thanks.👃👃👃👃👃

Hi Gevin, How it's going?? It's been a long time that I haven't watched your videos. I'm wondering if there is a way to create a 3d model in revit from a xml file??? if it so, which tools it is required?? Thanks!

This was super helpful, I see now that I am approacing the boilerplate from the wrong direction- I should be deleting not typing. The boilerplate and wrapping and unwrapping has by far given me hte most trouble. Would it not be helpful to add a tolist function to the boilderplate, since its used so much? I always see it typed out in other peoples nodes.

Thank you for this excellent video. I would kindly want to ask if we can use libraries like Pandas and NumPy in the Python editor of Dynamo.

Thanks for the video, its easy to understand and the content is very friendly for the user

How to create sheets in pyrevit?

I am on my path to learn Python for REVIT for a good while now and I appreciate how you go systematically through each part of your scripts including debugging an cleaning up. Thanks for your good work in all your videos and keep it up. Much appreciated!
