Highlight a point in view

Hello Everyone!

 

I am trying to highlight  a point in Revit`s view, and I saw that it is possible to do it in Dynamo.  When a I create a point in dynamo, I also get a preview of that point in my revit document. Is there a way to highlight this point through Revit`s API? 

 

Here`s the link of a similar question that I found at Dynamo`s forum, maybe it can help you understand:

I would like to do similar to these pipe gifs without using any transactions. I looked at this first link and I'm still using spheres.

 

I'll show you what i have until now, in the video you can see that I'm selecting the connector desired by the user and it creates a sphere that was  created with DirectShape, but that way I have several transactions that I don't want to have and still need to delete the created directshape.

Hi @bimspaceengenharia ,

 

I am not able to understand your problem clearly. The GIF you attached is not clear.

It looks like you were able to create a direct shape at the point you are selecting.

Are you trying to do this without any transactions?

Could you please explain your problem in detail(With screenshots)?

I am not an expert in Dynamo. If Dynamo is doing it, it's possible. It might be creating some temporary geometry or even a temporary Revit object representing the point. But looking at the code for those nodes would probably help identify the technique used.
