@ksobon Great work. But also be aware DynamoRevit work will be taken over by Revit team. I would @philxia1 @AndyDu1985 @ZiyunShang in the future for related work

[ksobon]

Really? @kronz @Racel @mjkkirschner I will miss you guys.

[QilongTang]

@ksobon Yes, DynamoRevit 2.0 should be the last release only handled by Dynamo team, in the future it will be joint effort.

[smangarole]

Thanks @ksobon. I am glad you were able to run the RTF tests.

[Racel]

@ksobon Don't worry. We will still be here, but focused on working on Dynamo Core only. The Revit team is just taking over the DynamoRevit repo :)

[mjkkirschner]

@ksobon this and the cherry picks look good to me - thanks for adding the new method, tests, and the general cleanup.

• @philxia1 can we get this and the cherry pick branches for this PR merged? I am not sure how you want to handle the new master branch though?

[AndyDu1985]

@ksobon, thank you for your contribution to Dynamo For Revit.

[AndyDu1985]

@ZiyunShang will cherry pick this PR to other branches.

Is there any way of using the node in Dynamo 2.0.2 for Revit 2018.3?
Thanks
