select_file function always returns one file path even though It is possible to select multiple files in dialog when multiple = true. The reason is that function returns form.FileName*1 regardless of multiple option when it should return form.FileNames*2

*1 - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.filedialog.filename(v=vs.110).aspx
*2 - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.filedialog.filenames(v=vs.110).aspx

Proposed solution:

    if form.ShowDialog() == Forms.DialogResult.OK:
	if multiple:
            return list(form.FileNames)
        return form.FileName

@gtalarico I ended up defining the class below in the sphinx conf.py that will handle all dot net imports:

# based on:
# http://blog.dowski.com/2008/07/31/customizing-the-python-import-system/
class DotNetImporter(object):
    domain_modules = ['clr', 'System', 'Autodesk', 'Microsoft']
    found_mods = dict()

    def find_module(self, fullname, path=None):
        if fullname in self.domain_modules:
            return self
        if path:
            for p in path:
                if p in self.domain_modules:
                    self.domain_modules.append(fullname)
                    return self

        return None

    def load_module(self, fullname):
        if fullname in sys.modules:
            return sys.modules[fullname]

        mod = imp.new_module(fullname)
        mod.__loader__ = self
        sys.modules[fullname] = mod
        mod.__file__ = fullname
        mod.__path__ = [fullname]
        return mod

# add importer to the list
sys.meta_path.append(DotNetImporter())

I'm running sphinx on a mac to create the docs for pyRevit and is working well. I also had to define global __sphinx__ parameter to protect the module level code from execution.

I downloaded the Zip. file and I am trying to add a string input box to a pyRevit command. After downloading the zip I unzipped the contents to this location: C:\Users\hazell\AppData\Roaming\pyRevit\pyRevit-v3beta\modules\rpw

added this code to my pyRevit command:

import sys
sys.path.append(r'C:\Users\hazell\AppData\Roaming\pyRevit\pyRevit-v3beta\modules')

this ensure python will search that folder for any package you import)

import rpw

Getting the following error:
Could not add reference to assembly IronPython.Wpf

I'd like to use a variation of %appdata% to call instead of the direct path, but that's for a later day:

Hello,
I want to add footer for my FlexForm but I couldn't find the sample on website. I just found footer for TaskDialog only.
Hope to see your respond. Thank you!

Tried to use RevitPythonWrapper outside Revit Envroment:

Could i use RevitPythonWrapper outside Revit ?

I got this exception in my RevitPythonShell. I'm using Revit 2015. I looked up here but couldn't find GetElementCount. GetElementCount only appears from 2016 API

Is there any workaround for my case?
Thanks.

Hello,
I tried to used rpw.db.Parameter in my last script but I was unable to retrieve a suitable value as it was intend to be human readable.
Here is a case :
When you retrieve value from BuiltInParameter.VIEWER_VOLUME_OF_INTEREST_CROP storage type is ElementId which is not human readable. When you print it or pass in a str() function, it return a number or -1. In the script it is used to batch rename views, so I need a human readable value.

Do you find relevant to add a method display_value or alike in rpw.db.Parameter class ? If yes. Do you want me to send a pull request ?

Repr is sometimes not clean and has unnecessary info.
Most rpw classes maintain the same name as the revit object, so expressing it is redundant.

Proposal:

<rpw:Element % Material [id:1919]>
rpw.db.Element is wrapping Revit Material class
% syntax is shown because wrapper name and wrapped Element name is different

If name is the same wrapper % class syntax is omitted.
Furthermore custom repr was sometimes hard to read, so bracket are used instead of spaces.

Previously:
<rpw:Parameter % ..DB.Parameter | name:Name value:SomeValue type:string>

Becomes:
<rpw:Parameter [name:Name] [value:SomeName] [type:string]>

Include __setattr__ method in Base Wrapper to allow:
wall = rpw.Element(some_wall)
wall.Pinned = True

The initial implementation was removed because it was causing infinite recursion loops on setattr

Dear gtalarico,
Can we display a sketch or a preview in the wrapper to help the user insert his imports?

Hi gtalarico,
I try to install RevitPythonWrapper Autocomplete to Visual Studio Code but it's not work.
My setting like this:

{
"python.pythonPath": "C:\Users\GIGA\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\python.exe"
"python.autoComplete.extraPaths": [
"D:\Python Code\Revit\ironpython-stubs-master\release\stubs.min",
"D:\Python Code\Revit\revitpythonwrapper-master\rpw"]
}

Hope to see your reply. Thank you!

import rpw crashes in Revit 2023 in revitpythonshell
import pyrevit works fine but import rpw crashes it
I am using rpw that came with pyRevit v 4.8.14.24016 which is latest as Feb 2024 on windows 10

This is causing RPW debug logger's to show up everywhere

If a console is called in a loop, user needs to be able to force close

if element is wrapped, something element.Pinned' will return it's correct value, however element.Pinned = True` will not set it, because the Base wrapper does not implement a catch all setter.
The code was added, but commented because it was causing a crash

rpw.db.Element.Factory(s0)
<RPW_Instance: 72" x 36">
i = rpw.db.Element.Factory(s0)
isinstance(i, Element)
False <<< This should return True
isinstance(i.unwrap(), Element)
True

Hi,

As Name is a member of Autodesk.Revit.DB.Element. I think it would be great to be able to access it for any wrapped object child of it. I saw that you defined a property name on some specific element class, but it uses built in parameter names which are not common to all DB.Element subclasses and sometimes read only. So I tried to add following code to your Element class but it fails for some reason. I don't understand because when I do it manually in RPS it works. As you know, just doing element.Name doesn't work on any element subclass so I use DB.Element.Name.GetValue(element) :

    @property
    def name(self):
        """ Name Property """
        return DB.Element.Name.GetValue(self.unwrap())

    @name.setter
    def name(self, value):
        """ Name Property Setter """
        return DB.Element.Name.SetValue(self.unwrap(), value)

The following error occurred when I added the following statement:
The import sys
Sys. Path. Append (IN [0])
The import RPW
Col = RPW. Db. The Collector (of_category = 'OST_Levels', is_not_type = True)
OUT = col elements

Hi @gtalarico , we use rpw.forms for a couple of tools in pyRevit, where it works pretty smoothly.
however if I were to paste code into RevitPythonShell , like the one from the readthedocs documentation I get the following exception:

from rpw import forms

prompt = forms.TextInput('Title', default="3")
prompt.show()
print(prompt.selected)



IronPython 2.7.4 DEBUG (2.7.0.40) on .NET 4.0.30319.42000 (64-bit)
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> 
... from rpw import forms
... 
... prompt = forms.TextInput('Title', default="3")
... prompt.show()
... print(prompt.selected)
... 

[INFO] Running In Revit

any ideas? Thank you!

hi @gtalarico ,
first off thank for the awesome gui wrappers. (-;
I use them quite a bit. Today is the first time I needed
select_file and it seems to me that there might be a typo
in the example code on readthedocs for the select_file:

>>> from rpw.ui.forms import select_file
>>> filepath = select_file('Revit File ('*.rvt)|*.rvt'))
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    filepath = select_file('Revit File ('*.rvt)|*.rvt'))
                                          ^
SyntaxError: unexpected token '.'

So I thought, oh well I do a quick PR with the
(what I thought might be the ) fixed example which runs:

filepath = select_file('Revit File (*.rvt)|*.rvt)')

but when the file dialog pops up with the preset *.rvt filter, it seems like
everything except for directories is filtered away, even rvt. If I provide
the path as a string into this dialog, then filepath is considered not defined.
If I choose to not use the filter the dialog works as expected for all file
types, but obviously no filtering.
(I ran it in Revit 2017.2.2 in RevitPythonShell, rpw version: 1.7.4)

Hi,
According to Selection docstrings. It is supposed to work :

    >>> from rpw import ui
    >>> selection = ui.Selection()
    >>> selection[0]
    FirstElement

But when I try, I got following error :

>>> import rpw
>>> sel = rpw.ui.Selection()
>>> sel
<rpw:Selection [count:1]>
>>> sel[0]

could be:
