This node will allow the user to pick model elements in desired order while isolating category.

Dynamo Hierarchy: Rhythm>Revit>Elements>View>View.ConvertToIndependent
Description:
Given a dependent view, this node will convert it to an independent.
Inputs:
dependentView : View
Outputs:
independentView : View
This will output a list of families as Revit elements from the current Revit document. From here you can perform various operations such as determining the Types that proceed from these families and so on. The example below simply exports the current project family name list to the clipboard so it can be pasted into another program such as Word.
This node will return the TitleBlock instance applied to the input Sheet.
Works with list of sheets.
Uses a little python, basically building up a dictionary with the sheet number parameter of the titleblock elements (as the Keys) and the titleblocks themselves as the Values.
Then performs a search in the dictionary using the Sheet number of the Sheet elements.
In pursuit of avoiding dependencies, a basic implementation of the dictionary is used. For more reliable results, the python node can be replaced with SpringNode’s “Dictionary”.
This node takes single DYF file in one input, and the path to your main package folder in the other. It gets the path to DYF files that the main DYF requires, and outputs a list of file paths to those ‘dependencies’. In this version, the node repeats about 4 times to get custom nodes 4 or 5 levels deep from the initial dyf.
This node takes a list of file paths and a new target Directory, and copies the individual files into that directory.

In some cases it is difficult to multi-select and Duplicate multiple Views in the Project Browser. This node takes a list of Views and attempts to Duplicate them. It also takes a duplicationOption as input, which is by default set to Duplicate. This first version does not return the newly created views as elements (ie. the views usually appended with “Copy 1”), but it should do so in future version.
Sometimes you will want to maintain a number of different 3D views with the same Section Box extents, but perhaps with different View Templates applied. This node was designed to copy the Section Box extent from one 3D view, and apply it to a list of 3D views. It also notifies if the Section Box was applied successfully. In the example below, I simply modified the shape handles of one 3D view Section Box, and then used the definition as shown below to copy the Section Box from the Active View to the other related 3D views. The node deliberately removes the ‘source’ 3D view from the 3D views to be modified.
