1.34.0

New nodes:

  • All Elements Of Category+
  • Color.ByName
  • Color.Name
  • Document.Enums
  • Element.CurtainGridLines
  • Element.DependentElements
  • Element.Mirror
  • Enum.Values
  • FamilyInstance.IsMirrored
  • FamilyParameter.SetFormula
  • File.Created
  • File.LastAccessed
  • File.LastModified
  • FilledRegionType.FillPatterns
  • ParameterElement.SetAllowVaryBetweenGroups
  • RevitLinkType.AttachmentType
  • RevitLinkType.PathType
  • Solid.ByUnion+

Changes:

  • Key feature of this release: Most Clockwork nodes that have category inputs now not only support categories but also BuiltInCategories and BuiltInCategories as strings. That means that you can use them to query categories that are not supported by OOTB Dynamo nodes (e.g. LegendComponents, Profiles etc.). Affected nodes:
    • All Elements Of Category+
    • All Families Of Category
    • All Family Types Of Category
    • All Intersecting Elements Of Category By BoundingBox
    • All Intersecting Elements Of Category By Vector
    • All Placed Family Types of Category
    • All View-Dependent Family Instances Of Category
    • Category.Material
    • Category.Subcategories
    • Category.Type
    • Document.ContainsElementsOfCategory
    • Document.ProjectParametersByCategory
    • Element.IsOfCategory
    • Room.InsertsOfBoundariesByCategory
    • View.CategoryIsVisible
    • View.PermanentlyIsolateCategory
    • View.TemporarilyIsolateCategory
  • The following nodes now support linked documents:
    • All Placed Element Types Of Category
    • Document.ContainsElementsOfCategory
    • Element.AllInstances
    • Element.AllInstancesAtLevel
    • Element.AllViewDependentInstances
  • BuiltInCategory.ByName and Document.BuiltInCategories now have an option to also return categories that are not supported by OOTB Dynamo nodes
  • Document.ProjectParameters and Element.Category+ now have an additional output for BuiltInCategories
  • Element.Location+ now returns the profiles of ExtrusionRoofs
  • Element.Panels now has an option to return panels ordered by rows
  • Element.SetName now supports the renaming of worksets.
  • Group.Ungroup now has a second output that reports success as a boolean. Additionally, returning the ungrouped elements can now be turned off for two reasons:
    • Better performance when dealing with large numbers of groups.
    • Circumventing a bug where DynamoRevit will fail to instantiate TextNote elements contained in detail groups when run on top of non-English Revit.
  • SpotCoordinate.ByPoint and SpotElevation.ByPoint now work on any type of reference (previously only faces)

Bug fixes:

  • DirectShape.FromRevitGeometry is now also working in Revit 2018 and later
  • Fixed order of outputs for Document.ProjectParameteryByCategory
  • Element.Inserts will now return inserts correctly for a list of elements
  • Element.Location+ will now return all curves of sketch-based elements
  • RevisionCloud.FromElements now works as expected again
  • Room.State will now report rooms correctly as non-enclosed that only had their room-bounding elements removed during script execution.
  • Fixed a bug where SelectionSet.ByElements would return null in some odd cases
  • SharedParameterFile.Parse now supports older SP files as well that don't contain all columns (e.g. description and usermodifiable columns)
  • View.PrimaryView now works for all view types

1.33.1

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed a bug in Element.SetName

1.33.0

New nodes:

  • AngularDimension.ByElements
  • Array.GroupType
  • Dimension.ReferencedElements
  • Document.UnitTypes
  • ElementType.ByName
  • ElevationMarker.Views
  • FamilyParameter.MakeInstance
  • FamilyParameter.MakeType
  • SharedParameterFile.Parse
  • SpotCoordinate.ByPoint

Changes:

  • All Intersecting Elements Of Category By Vector now performs a lot faster and uses a temporarily generated view to perform its query
  • All View-Dependent Family Instances of Category now works for dependent views as well
  • Document.ElementTypes now shows all element types that are available in the OOTB dropdown node "Element Types". It also has a second output for the type names now.
  • Element.Category+ now also returns the category of the currently opened family document
  • Element.CutGeometry & Element.JoinGeometry now also return the original input elements
  • Element.Inserts now also returns railings hosted on stairs
  • Element.Location+ now has two additional outputs: "hasMultipleCurves" (boolean) and "multipleCurves" (lists of curves). The existing outputs "curves", "curveEndpoints" and "isCurve" will no longer output curves, points and True respectively for elements with multiple location curves (e.g. floor slabs). Additionally, the node now supports these additional object types:
    • Curtain grid lines
    • Dimensions
    • Grids
    • Openings (currently only non-rectangular ones, though)
    • Railings
    • Top rails
    • Stair landings
    • Stair runs

  • Element.Level now also supports stairs, stair runs, stair landings and extruded roofs
  • Element.SetName now also supports renaming of family parameters (while in a family document)
  • FamilyInstance.SubComponents was renamed to Element.SubComponents because it now also supports beam systems, stairs and railings.
  • FamilyInstance.SuperComponent was renamed to Element.SuperComponent because it now also supports beams in beam systems, stair components, hand rails and top rails.
  • UnitType.DisplayUnitType now also supports native Revit unit types (previously only Dynamo unit types)
  • Wall.Flip now reports success/failure as a boolean

Bug fixes:

  • Element.Category+ will no longer fail when processing null values
  • List.ReplaceItemAtIndex+ will no longer fail when processing 2D lists. This should also fix similar issues with List.ReplaceEmptyLists and List.ReplaceNulls.
  • View.ViewTemplate will no longer fail when processing null values or non-views

1.32.0

New nodes:

  • Paneling.TriangularFlatMirrored (late migration from 0.9.x package version)

  • SpotElevation.ByPoint (fka SpotElevation.ByFloorPlanAndPoint) now accepts any view (may not work for all view types, though)
  • String.MatchRegularExpression has been renamed to String.ContainsRegularExpression in order to differentiate itself clearly from the new String.StartsWithRegularExpression node
  • View.Duplicate, View.DuplicateAsDependent and View.DuplicateWithDetailing now all have name inputs

Bug Fixes:

1.31.1

New nodes:

  • RevitFile.BasicFileInfo

  • Document.SynchronizeWithCentral now has an additional boolean toggle to control whether the node should be run or not.
  • Element.Name+ will now return null if a name cannot be determined. It now also returns the localized name for a number of data types (BuiltInParameters, BuiltInParameterGroups, DisplayUnitTypes, ParameterTypes, UnitSymbolTypes & UnitTypes).
  • Room.Boundaries will now only return room-bounding elements that correspond to one of the room-bounding curves in plan view (i.e. walls, columns & room separation lines). Use the new Room.Finishes node to retrieve top and bottom room-bounding elements (i.e. floor slabs & ceilings).
  • Time.LapTime and Time.EvaluateLapTimes now use DateTime and TimeSpan data types instead of Double data type

Bug fixes:

  • All Intersecting Elements Of Category By BoundingBox now handles null value gracefully
  • Clipboard.SendTo will no longer crash Dynamo (and Revit) when handed a null value
  • System.Version will now also correctly report Windows versions past Windows 7

  • Altered many nodes to make use of List@Level functionality
  • Removed DesignScript from most nodes
  • Checked Revit 2018 API compatibility
  • Most Revit nodes that previously returned Empty List when no object was found will now return null. I realize this may likely break existing workflows but it is in closer alignment with how Dynamo's OOTB Revit nodes behave and will also simplify filtering processes in nested lists.
  • Most Revit Create nodes (i.e. nodes that create new elements in the model) now return null for elements that could not be created
  • Most Revit Actions nodes (i.e. nodes that alter elements in the model) now return booleans to indicate success/failure

  • Document.ProjectParameters and Document.ProjectParametersByCategory will now also report how parameter values are treated for grouped elements
  • Element.Category+ now supports families and graphics styles as well
