Its in charge of taking views and placing them on a sheet, and if it runs out of room on a sheet it will create a new sheet and keep placing the remainder of the views on it until it runs out of room on that one as well. Next one is still work in progress and its not even a custom node yet, so I am only going to briefly describe what it does. You need to supply it views and a view template name and you are good to go. I am not going to go into too much detail on that one. Next part was to apply a View Template to our freshly minted views. I am not really convinced that views created this way are truly perpendicular to a panel surface, but its pretty close and good enough for a proof of concept. Here is some gymnastics of extracting geometry from each panel, then placing point right in the middle of it and offsetting it in the direction of the surface normal to create my “eye” and “target” inputs. I wanted my views to be perpendicular to each panel, so that I can maybe later put some dimensions on them. Nevertheless, in Dynamo all inputs must be satisfied for the node to work, so make sure that you feed it the right stuff. Set it to True (1) and it theoretically should isolate only elements that were fed through “extents” input, however that didn’t really work for me. Lastly there is the “isolate” input that takes a Boolean node. Basically if you feed it an object, it will make sure that its visible within the crop region. “Extents” allows you to plug in an element from which a bounding box will be extracted and used to determine a crop region for the new view. Then there is a name which can be a single String or a list depending on number of views that you want to create. “Target” is another Unitized XYZ point and that’s the point that camera will be looking at. This is a point from which the camera will be looking at the “target”. :-) “Eye” is a Unitized XYZ point that will be the camera location. Let me walk you through what each one really is and what it needs because trust me its not what it seems. It needs inputs such as “eye”, “target”, “name”, “extents” and “isolate”. Once I had just the panels that I needed it was time to get what I needed for my Axonometric View node. Since panels within each type group are the same, there was no need for me to create a view for every instance. This particular filter gets me only panels for one of the canopies and since there are three of them in the project I wanted to make sure that I focus on one of them for now.Īfter that there is another “filter” that gets me only one panel for each type. Again, there are only two custom nodes (that I created :-)), one is called Slice String (removes characters from a string) and Dispatch (uses a pattern of True/False to extract elements from a list). Here’s a screenshot of what one of those “filters” looks like. If I am using any custom nodes is to filter out specific elements that I want to create the views for.

First off I am demonstrating how to create new Views in a Revit project using Dynamo.
