ElementActiveViewByCategory

collect all elements from an active view of a given category.

# dynamo version - 1.3.4

import clr,System
clr.AddReference("RevitAPI")
clr.AddReference("RevitServices")
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
# document
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
# category input
category = UnwrapElement(IN[0])
# all BuiltInCategory object

# check matching id to collect BIC object
for bic in builtInCategories:
	# if match

		catObj = bic
		break
	
# collect elements
elements = FilteredElementCollector(doc, doc.ActiveView.Id).OfCategory(catObj).ToElements()

# output

RoomTagToRoom

Relocate Room’s Tag to the location of the room.

# dynamo version - 1.3.4

import clr
#clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
clr.AddReference('RevitServices')

#from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *

#room_tags = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(SpatialElementTag).ToElements()

TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)

for i in elems:
	room_loc = i.Room.Location.Point
	new_loc = room_loc - i.Location.Point
	i.Location.Move(new_loc)

RoomCollector

Check/Collect the room by its status; Place , Unplaced, NotEnclosed & Redundant.

# dynamo version - 1.3.4

# if no input, collect all rooms
else:
	# collect all rooms 
	rooms = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfCategory(BuiltInCategory.OST_Rooms).ToElements()

# room status list for output

DuplicateSheetWithViews
