Revit and Dynamo version

(Which version of Revit, Dynamo and Orchid are you using? Go to Help > About if you're not sure. for Orchid version, go to Packages > Manage Packages) Revit: 2024.2 Dynamo: 2.19.3 Orchid: 6119

What did you do?

Added FamilyType.Current to my workspace

What did you expect to see?

the node placed with no issue

What did you see instead?

an error popup (little yellow triangle) and the node producing a null readout. This is also happening for formula.set

This is the second error message I have gotten since I did a larger internal update. Unfortunately did the other not return what could have happened since they/he apparently solved the issue without informing me what caused the error. Which means that this issue starts at square one :-S

First of all, I can see that you do have not the IFC exporter installed. You have only the built-in version. You can get the latest build of the IFCexporter here --> https://github.com/Autodesk/revit-ifc/releases

Next, it looks like there could be an issue with System.Collections.Immutable, I am not sure that this should cause any error, however, by testing have I recognized that the Dynamo Team uses a deprecated version (5.0) and I point towards the next newest version (7.0). I have not gotten any errors according to this myself, but I will downgrade this by the next version I upload.

Just for searching possible problems, which other packages do you load?

[akrcoceo]

The IFC exporter took away the build error for library and the system collections, but im still getting the serious issue error. These are the packages i have installed.

I am pretty sure it is not Clockwork or Rhythm that causes any error, I will presume the same about Crumple but since I do not use any other packages than my own it will be a guess. I will not presume that any Dynamoteam package is a threat, but I don't know.

It leaves the DynamoPlayerExtension, what is that, and who makes it!? A fast test is to unload that and try to restart Revit/Dynamo. The longer test is to check if a dynamo assembly is included in a ”bin” folder (or in any other package for that sake). If a Dynamo assembly is included, it will cause problems and most certainly something not to have.

The full test is to unload all packages except Orchid, then start Revit/Dynamo, check if it catches an error… then redo that test when adding a package at the time. As mentioned, I don't presume that Clockwork and Rhythm will cause any error, but from there I am unsure.

The test with only Orchid is something I am interested in since that will help me a lot :-)

PS. I have just uploaded a new version of Orchid, where System.Collections.Immutable is downgraded, please confirm that you dont get this warning anymore.

[akrcoceo]

I have disabled all of the packages except Orchid and still getting the error, and its only occurring specific nodes. I have quite a few in this graph and only familydocument.current and Formula.set are causing the error. The new version did not resolve my issue either.

[erfajo]

this i very strange... however, could it be the case that you use a version of Revit that is not English? I have had such a kind of issue with the Russian language version of Revit. That means also that I have a starting point for error searching…

[erfajo]

A new build has been uploaded, I got another user to test a beta build I made, and that works according to him... please download the new build :-)

[erfajo]

I will close this issue due to no response. I hope the issue is solved.

[akrcoceo]

Hi sorry for late response, i am using english version of revit, and the beta build did not solve my issue. Any other thoughts?

[erfajo]

The current build should do it, but if you still have an issue then please follow up so I know that you still have the problem. Otherwise do I not have any clue if the issue is solved or not!

I can see from your screen dumps that you use German language parameters, could it be the case that your Windows version is in German? I am Danish, and my Windows is in Danish and I use Revit in English… So I cannot see why it should play any role to have different languages… but just to know all the factors I am dealing with.

If you still have the error, then I need to know which other packages you have, and please once more post the error messages as you did previously. I hope that some of the previous errors have disappeared.
