@@TheRevitKid The Phase values do something odd in my model. I created a model similar to the one you put together in your tutorial and it produced the same error, phase values are Existing and New Construction. Using Revit 2020.1, the Phase lists our only the Existing with ID numbers, the New Construction have no element associates with them. So the Element.Name node produces an error "Warning: Asked to convert non-convertible type." and lists the ones without elements as "null". Any ides whats going wrong?
@@timothycrone8670 Hey man! Shoot me an email with your script image, etc... I'll see if I can help. Hard to help without seeing the setup, file, etc...
Hi @TheRevitKid.. I thought I stumbled across the answer to my problems with your video, but I seem to be having the same trouble as @Timothy Crone, and wondered if you managed to solve his problem. In my case I'm trying to obtain the element ID for the New Construction phase (Rooms), so that I can set the phase of room elevations created in Dynamo by room number/name. Element.GetParameterValueByName etc. etc. only returns element IDs for all phases except New Construction. Any help much appreciated! Thanks...
I'd have to see you script or try it out on my own to see what your issue is exactly... Feel free to email me or even post it on the Dynamo Forum... Cheers!
Great to see your channel delving into Dynamo. Also appreciating the practical nature of the scripts, keep up the great work! For multi-phase projects with more than 2 phases (shudder) Sort.ByFunction works great - essentially grouping rooms based on a common parameter, and then you can use 'get item at index' node to extract the relevant phase. Nonetheless you used my favourite node, so I approve this workflow too (Filter by Boolean Mask!).
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for the kind words... Yes, there are a few other ways to filter like sort by key and dictionaries but I believe that a user who understands using this method can easily understand the other methods! Perhaps those will be my next videos ;)
Exact topic I was looking for and explained very well. Thanks for the time.
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome! Had a bit of trouble with my model, didn't understand the phase 'New Construction' so I filtered it to be the false's rather than the true's.
Awesome! Depending on what template or how your model is set up the Phase "values" will be different for sure. Cheers!
