Dynamo object locked, cannot be selected

Dynamo object locked, cannot be selected

Anonymous
Not applicable

Good morning, I am starting with Revit and I ask you for help with this question

In Revit I have two masses that intersect.

By means of Dynamo I get to obtain the common geometry of both masses (intersection)

The problem is that in Revit, that created object, I can't select it, move it.

It remains fixed immovable

How can I make it an unlocked object with its characteristics, area, volume, etc.

 

 

Thanks

I'm afraid that is more a Dynamo question than a Revit API one.

 

What you describe may be the normal expected behaviour. 

 

You will probably be able to find out more in the Dynamo discussion forum:

Hi!

Geometry you create in Dynamo can not be directly selected in Revit as it actually does not exist in Revit project. If you want to select it in Revit you need some extra nodes to return it back to Revit document. Something like ImportInstance.ByGeometries, FamilyType.ByGeometry, etc. And as @jeremy_tammik has already said, dynamo forum is a better place to ask questions about dynamo basics.

Good luck! 😉
