Re: "Unable to copy elements from file." when running "SaveAsLibraryView" command on generated sheets

Hi Michel

 

> 1. You copy a sheet to another model, Yes?

 

yes, the goal is to work around limitation in revit where you cannot run SaveAsLibraryView on 3d views

  we have a lot of details drawn on top of 3d views (callouts)
my idea was to copy all view-dependent elements into new drafting views

above command does that for all views on a sheet

then I want to run SaveAsLibraryView on that new sheet (with only drafting views)

 

2. A empty sheet works, but with views on it it doesn't?, that sounds correct, the views have to be copied or recreated first in target model and then place those on the sheet in the target model

 

hah sorry, I wish it was that simple - an empty duplicated sheet works, but it also works with same views placed on it

> 3. You're copying a sheet with draftingviews, not sure if that can be copied to another model

 

yes, drafting views can be exported fine

having said that amount of effort put into this workflow definitely wasn't worth it as in the end you still have to manually copy/paste these view-dependent elements to relevant 3d views 

DraftingView copy between models issue

 

thanks, but I don't think that's very relevant as I didn't have any issues with copying view-dependents elements from 3d views into drafting views and exporting them separately later

I think the issue is primarily to do with the way sheets are made in the above code
