Working with Presets

[andydandy74]

I just started working with the DynamoCLI and presets which is going to be great for batch-processing with standalone Dynamo. Mike did some really outstanding work there. Now I was wondering: How hard would it be to include the name of a preset in the journal file and make presets available for the Revit addin as well?
For the RTC class I have created an example that works with a custom config file but using presets would be way cooler. Your thoughts, @ikeough ?

This might work with one of the new JournalKeys added in Dynamo 1.2

hey @andydandy74 - i'm looking to do a very similar thing and rather than re-inventing the wheel, maybe I can help with DynamoAutomation support for presets and Revit2017. Worth a Skype soon ?

Also, as a quick suggestion, would using the same name as the file for the preset and always specifying that as the preset input for Revit's Dynamo work ? If no preset file exists, I assume it would silently fail and not halt execution of the whole thing ?

Hi @radumg - that'd be great. Just PM'ed you on Twitter.

Presets are dead and gone:
DynamoDS/Dynamo#8207
Let's focus on JournalNodeKeys:
