Wall Sweep Visibility Control


When you have Wall Sweeps in your model, by default they can be a little problematic to hide in your views without having to resort to ‘Hide in View’ > ‘Element’. (Which is a very undesirable work practice, so don’t even think about it!)

The problem occurs because there is no Wall Sweep Category and Revit, by default doesn’t have a Wall Sweep subcategory under the walls.

Dynamo - Accessing Legends via Core Nodes

This task originated from trying to determine which legends were actually in use on sheets in a Revit project file.

Listing all of the Legends in the model seemed like an easy enough task and while there are a couple of packages that have nodes to collect this information. I always see if it is possible to do this via the core nodes.

This process was more difficult than first thought below is the graph and attached is the Dynamo file. Hopefully you will find it useful.












You may notice that it brings up a few errors, but these can be ignored and it doesn't list Keynote Legends, as there are considered schedules by Revit.
