Sync View, Editing. Append(view.ViewId)

Revit API
1

Hi all.

thanks for the platform and software

Python noob, trying to convert my dynamo scripts to pyRevit python scripts

I’ve got a tool similar to Sync views, but doesn’t run actively and can sync on a sheeted view. I feel I’ve hit wall, can anyone help or point me to a resource about views API.

# import pyrevit libraries
import os
import os.path as op
import pickle as pl
import math

from pyrevit import framework
from pyrevit import script, revit
from pyrevit import DB, UI
from pyrevit import forms,revit,DB,script

clr.AddReference('RevitAPIUI')
from Autodesk.Revit.UI import

clr.AddReference('RevitServices')
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager

doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
uidoc=DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentUIApplication.ActiveUIDocument
rect = uiview.GetZoomCorners()

for uv in uidoc.GetOpenUIViews():
	if uv.ViewId.Equals( doc.ActiveView.Id ):
		uiview = uv

for view in uidoc.GetOpenUIViews():
	if not view.ViewId.Equals( doc.ActiveView.Id ):
		view.ZoomAndCenterRectangle(rect[0], rect[1])

Hi,
We are missing quite a bit of info to help you out.

I’ve managed to get it to 1 single custom node working in Dynamo (iron2.7).

I think I’m messing up on what to call library wise, pyRevit vs dynamo? and how the script exits, based on similar code by Eshan and Gavin

If anyone has any link to a post or YouTube vid roughly about this would be much appreciated

import clr

clr.AddReference('RevitAPIUI')
from Autodesk.Revit.UI import *

clr.AddReference('RevitServices')
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager

doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
uidoc=DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentUIApplication.ActiveUIDocument

for uv in uidoc.GetOpenUIViews():
	if uv.ViewId.Equals( doc.ActiveView.Id ):
		uiview = uv

rect = uiview.GetZoomCorners()
exit = []
for view in uidoc.GetOpenUIViews():
	if not view.ViewId.Equals( doc.ActiveView.Id ):
		view.ZoomAndCenterRectangle(rect[0], rect[1])
		exit.append(view.ViewId)

OUT = exit
