Room Data Sheet Plus Plan view type Conflict

Open AndrewWaring opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

HI.

Getting the below error when running the Room data Sheet plus script

ERROR [pyrevit.revit.db.transaction] Error in Transaction Context. Rolling back changes. | <type 'exceptions.Exception'>:The name is already in use for this element type. Parameter name: name

IronPython Traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "filepath\script.py", line 133, in Exception: The name is already in use for this element type. Parameter name: name

from the error above, Our current workaround is to rename the "rds floor plan type" plan view type created with a random suffix. then it will run and create a new rds floor plan type. So it is very much appears to be an issue with adopting an existing view type called the same as the RDS_FLOOR_PLAN_TYPE_NAME parameter.

Apologies, I don't know enough python to suggest a solution to the code.
