Thank you for reading first.
What I'm trying to do is...
I'm going to make the "Revit Elements" into a single solid and write it in "Revit Family".
( The reason I do this is to control the generated solids. Please refer to the picture!! )
Please help me.
Hi,
I'm trying to understand if it's possible to create a Material Takeoff ViewSchedule for specific elements selected.
I know that I can create a schedule for the "Category" of the ElementIds of the selected elements:
but I'm not sure if that's the same as the actual elements themselves.
Can anyone assist to clarify this?
Thanks
Thanx RP, that answers my question there's no roll back after you have edited the family.
So the catch here is that if you WANT to keep the worksets then you'll need to save it as a central. If you don't care about worksets, use the DetachAndDiscardWorksets option which will make it non workshared, but you may also loose some information.

Unfortunately I do not believe this is possible at this time. You can create penetrations or openings in the floor, but not modify the actual boundary unless you recreate as you mentioned.
Hi
you can use an event to prevent an error and then you can use a RollBack to cancel the opening.
Look at this link : https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-api-forum/ignore-warning-message-contraints-on-editfamily/td-p/9482670
You can change the event for the search for "DocumentCorruption" type failures: :
😉
Probably not directly. You could try using .AddFilter and adding a selection filter but I assume that would fail since it isn't something you can do in the UI and Schedules don't support visibility graphics.
An indirect method may be to add a shared parameter value to all elements of the category and set a uniform value for the elements within the selection, then filter by that in the schedule. This is a standard approach within the UI so could definitely be automated with the API. Would use a unique string such as a GUID so that every time the command is run elements with the parameter set previously but not currently are filtered out. Don't use a Yes/No parameter because values for Yes will remain from previous in non-selected elements and you'll have to go though those to reset them rather than just setting a new string to filter with.
Hi All,
I'm interested in getting a list of all the parameter names associated with a label. I'm able to get the labels. I'm able to get the parameters OF the label. I've scoured Revit Lookup but can't seem to find the parameters ASSIGNED to the label.
I don't even need the actual parameters, just the parameter name strings, "Detail Number" etc.
Seems like it should be easy...

Does anybody have an update regarding this topic?
is possible to extract heating and cooling load Analytical Surace with Revit Dynamo and export it to Excel? I wish to extract parameters like Wall Area and direction, Glazing Area.
The main goal is to extract the data of wall area and direction from Revit and import to other software to conduct heat load estimation(By HAP, excel sheet).
furthermore, the gbXML from Revit does not work, the walls seemed to broken up too much in the Revit model when I open using HAP or CVS since The Analytical Model that is produced from gbXML differs from the Physical Model that is in Revit Views. I believe the best way is to find an approach to extract data by API.
I´m trying to change the material aplly to a familyinstance using the Revit API C# Language. Below is the code, I can chage other parameters in the family but does not work in the same way for the material. Anyone can give me a Help?
Parameter pMatSimbolo = pinElemento.LookupParameter("Cor3DSimbolo");
var sTyMatSimbolo = pMatSimbolo.StorageType.ToString();
var IdMatSimbolo = pMatSimbolo.AsElementId();
Element eleMatSimbolo = doc.GetElement(IdMatSimbolo);
Parameter paramCorSimbolo = eleMatSimbolo.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.MATERIAL_NAME);
var xxxxx = paramCorSimbolo.AsString();
FilteredElementCollector nomeMaterial = new FilteredElementCollector(doc);
var material = nomeMaterial.WherePasses(new ElementClassFilter(typeof(Material))).Cast<Material>().First(x => x.Name == ".MVermelho");
ElementId matId = material.Id;
String matNome = material.Name;
pinElemento.Set(".MVermelho");
//------------Retorna de paramentros
TaskDialog.Show("Valor do parametro", vSatus.ToString() + "\n"
+ vDeslo.ToString() + "\n"
+ vSimbolo.ToString());
TaskDialog.Show("Valor do parametro", sTyMatSimbolo.ToString() + "\n"
+ IdMatSimbolo.ToString() + "\n"
+ paramCorSimbolo.ToString() + "\n"
+ xxxxx + "\n"
+ matId.ToString() + "\n"
+ matNome.ToString());
Hi ,
im trying to add some selection box to task dialog.
at first i tough that the relevant class is ComboBox but then i understated that it related to ribbon item and not to task dialog.
any ideas? any help with some sources about the issue?

I finished my product and attempted to render it to the cloud. However the program experienced an unrecoverable error and stated that there was an autosaved version available after restarting the app. After doing so the file is gone, and I can not find it no matter where I look. I have tried multiple venues such as the recent files tab, the collaboration tab where you can recover an old file, and looked at the journals as well to no avail.
I have spent many days on this project, and would hate to lose all of it because of an error in the application. Can anyone help me recover this file?
Hy Michel,
thanks for the Tipps they are helpful :).

This is something ElementTransformUtils cannot do unfortunately. (As the Revit UI cant)
You can get the crop region from a view in a linked file like this:
and then apply that crop boundary in the host project like this:
But you need some logic or UI to determine which cropBoundary(view) in the link,
should be applied to which view in the host.
Or for each applicable view in the link create a view in the host.
Perhaps copy the linked Levels first using ElementTransformUtils if they dont exist.
And then you can think about placing them on sheets.
I'm trying to use the app from the Execute method, into a button that resides in a Windows Forms.

Thank you for your help!
I need some help trying to make sense of this exception I'm getting with the CreateRibbonPanel. I'm trying beginner stuff here, just create a ribbon tab, create ribbon panel, put button on ribbon panel. If I comment out the 2 lines relating to the panel it works fine; creates ribbon tab, but obviously no ribbon panel or button on said panel. Using Revit 2020. Builds fine, just get this expection when I try to debug and open Revit.
Better screen shot to show really how basic this class is.
Fixed it. The guide I was following wasn't explicit in that the first string needs to be the Tab name of the tab I wanted to add the panel to not just a random string.
Hello everyone, i hope you and your families are safe.
is it possible to access the UIDocument in a class that implements an IUpdater.
I know we can access the Document using data.GetDocument(), but is there a way to access the UIDocument ?
Thanks in advance.
