Hi
Unfortunately, this is not the best place to ask such a question.
Please note that this discussion forum is dedicated to programming Revit using the Revit API.
Therefore, you cannot expect an answer to a question such as yours relating to installation, product usage or end-user support issues here.
You should try one of the non-API Revit product support discussion forums instead for that:
I hope this clarifies.
Dear Javier,
I hope you were able to satisfactorily resolve this issue in the meantime.
My colleagues Liz Fortune and Balaji Arunachalam reported success on accessing and modifying all material assets that might be of interest to you and others as well:

Yes.
Attached is one example of trapezoid window.
I need the outer boundary of the bigger trapezoid only!
Thanks..

Hi,
for the text parameter bound to a ModelText, I think this is more expensive than just setting a normal text parameter.
The resulting text's geometry needs to be refreshed/recalculated each time the parameter's value changed.
The geometry's complexity depends on different factors, e.g. the text, the font, the style.
It may be that you ModelText consists of more vertices than the rest of your FamilyInstance.
Just an assumption.
Wouldn't it be better to display the parameter's information in an IndependentTag instead of the FamilyInstance's ModelText?

Hi!
im trying to load a spesific version of dynamo revit programatically, but im having some issues, maybe someone in the Revit community have done something like this? please take a look at my post at the dynamo forum
https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/load-spesific-version-of-dynamo-revit-programatically/42809
Thank you.
Hello, I seem to running into an issue that is specific to Revit 2019, as it does not happen in 2017, 2018 and 2020 (using the exact same code).
For my addin I want to save data into the project information of the document using a custom schema. This is generated using the SchemaBuilder class, where I set the schema properties using the example as shown in the API documation.
Adding the schema as a new entity to the document in a transaction succeeds.
And I can use Revit Lookup to inspect the saved data in the document.
Now here's the problem that occurs:
I save the document, with the custom schema added, as a new file.
I close the document.
I re-open the newly saved document, and I get the following errors:
First error on open:
Second error on open:
Now I'm unable to open the Revit document.
This can be fixed by opening the document with the Audit checkbox enabled.
Where it prompts the following popup:
Where pressing Repair and open will clear any existing Project Information that was stored, and regenerate the default Project Information fields with empty values.
Could anybody help me with this?
You can use the Extrusion Analyzer class.

Hi Revitalizer,
You seem to be right.
I have consulted many people,it seems that there is no other way to solve this problem,
Thank you very much.
I got that error now as well.
Do you have any suggestions on how I could call my class that opens the models, that isn't in an event handler.
I would like to automate this task to 100%, so it would involve opening Revit at a certain time at night, performing these exports from a list of models, and then closing again.
As you said, it is working in and ExternalCommand but I can't run an external command when Revit is starting up right? Or can I?
Thanks for both of your inputs.
Since both OnApplicationInitialized and the Idling Event are EventHandlers I cant perform the change of Active Document in Revit.
A couple of questions:
Can I call my class that performs the opening and exporting from another place, or write it in another way so I can do this soon after Revit has started?
I guess that ExternalCommands cannot be run straight at startup?
You can subscribe to the Idling event during startup.
In the Idling event, you can modify the model.
I was unaware that you cannot open a new model there.
However, if you must indeed be in an external command to open a new model, you can do so as follows:
In your external command, if you wish to process another file, resubscribe to Idling again.
Another idea: In your external command, if you wish to process another file, call PostCommand there, last thing you do before returning.
Ah, no, why should you.
In your external command, simply process all your files in a loop.
I really don't see what all the complexity is about.
What are you actually trying to achieve?
The Building Coder has processed several articles on batch processing documents.
Some of them are listed in the topic group on idling:

I see in this post:
https://bimchapters.blogspot.com/2018/12/resetting-default-instance-parameter-in.html
A window family with the Sill Height parameter editable at the moment of insert the symbol on the project, how I can replicate this setting behavior with another window family?
As far as I can tell from the article you point out, this is not a programming question, but a question on manually setting up the family definition appropriately.
In that case, unfortunately, this is not the best place to ask such a question.

Sorry to hear that you are running into such an issue.
Please note that it is not recommended to store extensible storage data on the project info object:
For the entire list of extensible storage related discussions, please refer to the corresponding topic group:
Just as Jacob Small already replied to your other thread, I am not aware of a way to force a specific version to load.
Thanks for the answer but, my question refers to the configuration of the family via code c #, as it would be possible to set the parameter so that it is editable by the user at the time of inserting the symbol.
I will try to prove an idea I have about how to modify the parameter status, editable status, via the configuration of another related parameter, the Default Sill Height.
In the Revit interface, if the Default Sill Height parameter is unlocked, the Sill Height instance parameter becomes editable. Therefore, I will try to achieve the same effect through the API code.
If this is an API code forum, it should be understood that the queries are how operations or modifications are made by programming the API using C # code, for example.
Any updates on whether this will be addressed in the next major release of Revit? I checked the October Preview Release and it still seems to be an issue.
Thanks.
It should indeed be understood.
Unfortunately, a large number of queries are submitted here every day in which this basic fact is not understood.
Therefore, I thank you for your clarification.
It is certainly possible (and easy) to set the value of a parameter.
If you wish to do so automatically immediately after a window instance has been inserted, that is also possible.
One possible (and maybe the most appropriate) approach to achieve this would be by using the dynamic model updater framework DMU.
Here are a number of examples and detailed descriptions on using it:

Dear Matt,
Thank you for your update, patience, perseverance, and checking in the preview release.
According to the information in the ticket REVIT-130308 [Analysis Visualisation Framework still fails to print -- 14085888], the issue was originally scheduled for correction in Revit 2020.
In order to fix it, a new development issue REVIT-130843 [Analysis Visualisation Framework still fails to print -- 14085888] was been created.
Unfortunately, the new issue is no longer scheduled for fixing in Revit 2020, but in the next major release.
I added a note to the developers asking whether it is still on track as planned and underlining its importance to you.
I hope and expect them to confirm that all is well and proceeding as planned.
Best regards,
Jeremy
