Hi,
Im trying to create some animations in a Revit 3d view.
the way of work is essentially creating a new XYZ point that is slightly further than its former, commit and then refresh the invoking a UI refresh.
this goes pretty well up until what seems to be the last commit where the screen turns black for a few seconds and then the script is complete.
I think its the last commit because the screen returns from being black and only then my print of finished running is being printed.
currently Im just moving a truss Assembly slightly along the X axis
Maybe someone here has a better idea of whats going on
