Dwg management

[Quickly23]

Hi All,

I’m trying to interrogate a few things about dwg files which are linked into revit models.

1. I’d like to know for each dwg drawing on which view and workset it is placed.

(I’ve made a start but cant really get the proper workset names)

2. I’d like to filter out all dwg files which have been imported into the model instead of linked in

(not sure how to do this really)

3. I’d like to filter out all dwg files which have been linked in ‘all views’ rather then ‘current view’

(not sure how to do this really)

4. I’d like to move all dwg files onto a specific workset

(I get an error message saying that the workset parameter is a ready only?)

Any help for above would be v. much appreciated.

I’ve uploaded my script, revit model + dwg files.

Many thanks,

Stephan

Here is how to get all the views where the import is visible.

There is an .IsLinked property on the ImportInstance

Not seeing anything related to this on an existing Element.

This is working as expected for me

Thank you very much @Japhy for your responses, very much appreciated.

Wrt the Python script for the ‘isLinkedProperty’ this is not working from me. Do i need to download something for this?

Many thanks,

[Japhy]

4. Isolating the issue and posting files Revit projects are rarely small & the issues are rarely simple. Its understandable that support files aren’t always readily uploadable, for size or for privacy concerns. That said, here are some recommendations: Isolating the question to a new Revit file with the Revit Version in the File Name, then purge the Revit file several times to reduce size. List your GH plugins needed to review the question, if possible remove all gh plugin components no…

Thank you

Rhino 7, gotcha. Please specify the Rhino version and Revit Version when asking questions. If not the most current versions is assumed. Thanks

Hi @japhy and all,

silly question but how can you list all dwgs in a project if they all have a different name?

I think in the example i sent all dwg started with the same name (drawing) but if this is not the case how would this work?

I’d like to be able to use the value picker.

Many thanks,

Stephan
