@ricardyn this is being worked on and should come out in a future release beyond Revit 2024 global launch.

ParametricMonkey commented 1 year ago

@Amoursol as noted in by forum post, this is still an issue and outstanding as of Dynmamo 2.18.1 (Revit 2024).

ParametricMonkey commented 11 months ago

@Amoursol, this is still an issue in Revit 2024.2 and Dynamo 2.19. When will this be fixed as it is pretty problematic?

Workaround: use built-in category names (https://www.revitapidocs.com/2018/ba1c5b30-242f-5fdc-8ea9-ec3b61e6e722.htm)

Amoursol commented 11 months ago

@ParametricMonkey this should have been resolved, so can you please let me know what specific case you have that is failing?

Also, I would second @andydandy74 's point as it's a much safer and stable path moving forward.

Amoursol commented 8 months ago

This has now been fixed for Revit 2025.
