Set Discipline Property for Views
This node allows you to batch-set View Discipline for a list of Revit Views.
View Discipline is pretty important, as this post shows.
In Revit, the View Discipline property is stored as a hash code of the main discipline list (Architectural, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Coordination). If you try using GetParameterValueByName, Dynamo will return this hash code.
Bakery package now includes these nodes for View Discipline management:
- Enumerate View Discipline
- Set Discipline Property for Views
- Get View Discipline Code By Name
- Get View Discipline Name by Code
