Howdy! Great idea, mate. Questions: - Once the families have been converted to unmodifiable, are they still able to be counted by schedules? - Did you solve the random movement bug? Cheers!
Hey! Unfortunately, once they become unmodifiable, they are no longer schedulable, as this converts the selected categories into CAD imports. That’s a good idea though, something similar might be achieved using Revit groups. (I don’t think you can schedule imported objects) I also ran into a dead end with the random offset glitch (I tested this on probably like 5 Revit files and it happened on one of them). On the forums, I was told it might be related to the large extents of the Revit files, but there wasn’t a solution, as I had correctly used the Revit API methods to export and re-import the geometry. If you’re interested in taking a shot at improving this, I can share the source code :D I’m taking a bit of a break from my digital hobbies to work with my hands, as all my old things suddenly demanded a lot of love… And lastly… the idea wasn’t mine 😅 it came from a friend.
Can always test it on a throw-away copy of your revit project :D For me the longest it took was 10-15 min for a few hundred mb file (don’t remember exactly)

I need this for my pipe fittings & pipe accessories, but seeing as there are thousands of them in a project this will likely take too long.

My man!
