grid naming in revit and Dynamo

[braicodavid]

Hello,

I have a script which creates a grid in dynamo and displays that in Revit. yet every time I run the dynamo code the renames the grids by adding another letter. the grid is extracting from an excel worksheet which has the grid names i would like to use, I just don't know how to code it so dynamo will write the names of the grid.

Also, as a side note, is there anything in dynamo that would allow me to create reference planes rather than grids?

Thanks,

David

Consider uploading the script. With only showing a partial node layout it is not clear what your script is doing.

I do not see nodes naming the grids, so not sure what happens.

If you already have the grids then you would need to select them and rename them.

If you create new grids you would have to set the name parameter properly. You also will have to consider Revit behaviour. For example when a name is already used Revit will throw an error.

Also creating reference planes can be done with standard nodes.

 Have a look at the dynamobim.org, it has a lot of information about Dynamo
