They also need a bit of testing so that its pretty robust. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I’ve been looking on the web for some journal scripts and finally found this article <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Modifying That Journal Script to Actually Reduce Family Sizes (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.revit.com.au\/modifying-that-journal-script-to-actually-shrink-family-sizes\/\" target=\"_blank\">Modifying That Journal Script to Actually Reduce Family Sizes<\/a><\/strong> that actually points to a place where there is a file. There seems to be a few issues about it , but at least there is a file that can be looked at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/file\/d\/0B3uxbAMNXvEPNVBmT0Rsb2pjV28\/edit\">https:\/\/docs.google.com\/file\/d\/0B3uxbAMNXvEPNVBmT0Rsb2pjV28\/edit<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is another resource regarding how to read the journal file and what the code in it means <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"How to read the Revit Journal file - Understanding Journal Files Part 1 (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/knowledge.autodesk.com\/support\/revit-products\/learn-explore\/caas\/simplecontent\/content\/how-to-read-the-revit-journal-file-understanding-journal-files-part-1-0.html?st=revit%20journal%20scripts\" target=\"_blank\">How to read the Revit Journal file – Understanding Journal Files Part 1<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">LineTypes & Copying between projects<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was thinking about this for scripting changing linetypes. As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/autodesk-university\/au-online\/profile?code=nb%2BMuZUoNh1Gkoc0mHH1Gw%3D%3D\">B<\/a>rian Mackey mentions in his Details video the setup for thin\/medium\/thick lines in Revit OOTB is pretty irritating, I’d rather go back to the CAD designations of line thicknesses, colours and line types, they make sense. So that is what I want to do, setup my own linestyles. I thought about Journal Scripts, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/autodesk-university\/au-online\/profile?code=nb%2BMuZUoNh1Gkoc0mHH1Gw%3D%3D\">B<\/a>rian Mackey mentions thats what he does for clients, and a few other things in Revit but I found that HyperFine Architects have a great video on different ways to copy things between projects, Linetypes being one of them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Revit: 5 Methods for Copying From One Project to Another\" width=\"678\" height=\"381\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7K7DKm4OJ_o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I’ll use their method for creating linetypes and copying from a Setup drawing across to different projects. I think that is a better way as if I’m not happy with the linestyle setup I can always alter it and then copy that update into the new project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">End comment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I’ve yet to play with the journal files or make a set of lineStyles, I just want to capture the resources for when I can get onto them for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watching Brian Mackey’s video on Intelligent Details he mentioned using Journals for scripting.
