Is it possible with Dynamo script to create window and door family elevations per type and place them on views instead of doing this manually?

Hi,

 

Would surely be possible, maybe make a post in the Dynamo forum?

 

If it's for making a overview of the windows/doors, the workflow I use is:

1. Place (large) wall in project, sufficient outside the building itself.

2. Place all used types in the wall (if hosted families)

3. Place the wall and all the families for the overview in a non-primary designoption (to minimize interaction with model/export/schedules etc)

4. Place 1 section/elevation and make dependent view of the wall of windows/doors to fit on the sheet

5. dimension/tag the families as needed.

6. use schedules/API/Dynamo to check if the used types between model and designoption match.

7. in there are new types, just add instances of them to the wall in the designoption or delete instances if they no longer used in the building.
