How create Solid Filled Region?
Hello!
I try create Filled Region with pattern type Solid Black.
I use next code:
Dim fillRegionTypes As FilteredElementCollector = New FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(GetType(FilledRegionType))
Dim myPatterns As IEnumerable(Of FilledRegionType) = From pattern In fillRegionTypes.Cast(Of FilledRegionType)() Where pattern.FamilyName.Equals("Filled region") Select pattern
But in some rvt files it's not work.

Re: How create Solid Filled Region?
Hi!
Try to find appropriate FilledRegionType with a) solid fill, b) black color.
So, you should first of all get FillPatternElement using
var fillPatternElement = (FillPatternElement)doc.GetElement(filledRegionType.FillPatternId);
Then check fillPatternElement.GetFillPattern().IsSolidFill
and the last check is for color: filledRegionType.Color.IsValid && filledRegionType.Color.Red == 0 && filledRegionType.Color.Green == 0 && filledRegionType.Color.Blue == 0
If there are no such filled region type in project, create it

Re: New schedule using API but don't know how to turn off the grid lines with AP
Depending on part of schedule you can only set values for certain things (as in UI).

Setting graphics style of line is a bit confusing:
Need to use a subcategory of OST_Lines (understandable)
Actual class used is GraphicsStyle so you filter for one of these with a category that is a subcatergory of OST_Lines.
Once you get the single GraphicsStyle element you want then...you don't use its GraphicsStyle.ID (since that is inherited from Element).
Instead you use GraphicsStyleCategory this returns a Category and it is the ID of that category which can be used for the border styles.
The built in category IDs can be constructed directly with ElementID constructor.
There is also a wider tickbox for globally turning on and off grid lines in the ViewSchedule, not found this in the API yet but I've not really looked that hard.
Private Function ScheduleGraphics(ByVal commandData As Autodesk.Revit.UI.ExternalCommandData, _
ByRef message As String, ByVal elements As Autodesk.Revit.DB.ElementSet) As Result
If commandData.Application.ActiveUIDocument Is Nothing Then Return Result.Failed Else
Dim IntDoc As Document = commandData.Application.ActiveUIDocument.Document
If IntDoc.ActiveView.ViewType <> ViewType.Schedule Then Return Result.Cancelled Else
Dim EID As ElementId = IntDoc.ActiveView.Id
Dim VS As ViewSchedule = TryCast(IntDoc.GetElement(EID), ViewSchedule)
Dim VisInOrd As IEnumerable(Of ScheduleFieldId)
VisInOrd = From X As ScheduleFieldId In VS.Definition.GetFieldOrder
Let F As ScheduleField = VS.Definition.GetField(X)
Where F.IsHidden = False
Select X
Using TX As New Transaction(IntDoc, "Schedule")
If TX.Start = TransactionStatus.Started Then
Dim SF As ScheduleField = VS.Definition.GetField(VisInOrd(0))
Dim TBS As TableCellStyle = SF.GetStyle
Dim OO As TableCellStyleOverrideOptions = TBS.GetCellStyleOverrideOptions
OO.BorderBottomLineStyle = True
TBS.BorderBottomLineStyle = ElementId.InvalidElementId
OO.BorderTopLineStyle = True

Re: Set item type before running postablecommand
Dear kevin,
Could you explain why you want to do this? Which postablecommand do you want to invoke?
For Family Symbol, there does exist a method named "Active", but I think that is not what you want.
Actually, if you want to create a wall through a wall type, I think you can directly use Wall.Create method, no need to use PostableCommand.

Re: IndependentTag - How do i call this in Revit?
Dear chrishildebran,
Please see codes below, it can work now.
Please pay attention to following items:
1. if your codes will modify the document, put them in a transaction
2. make sure you have loaded the tags
3. you can debug your codes in VS

Re: How can I get or set the selected elements in a linked model?
Thanks for the reply! That works if you're having the user pick objects, but for my use case I can't do that -- I need to read and write the current selection. Any idea there? I'm not sure it's possible in the API based on what I've read in other posts here.

Re: Set item type before running postablecommand
Hi,
did you try:
Document.SetDefaultElementTypeId(ElementTypeGroup.WallType, yourWallType.Id);
Document.SetDefaultElementTypeId(ElementTypeGroup.FloorType, yourFloorType.Id);
Analogously, there is a
Document.SetDefaultFamilyTypeId method.

Re: Family with parametric array
Hi Eason,
Find below the first problem that we faced when we add a constrained box (dimensions, reference lines and a extrusion ) to the array.
1. A short exact description of what you are trying to achieve.
I'm trying to copy a constrained box in an array. This way, anytime that I change the width or height of the box, the duplicated boxes will also change their dimensions.
2. The behavior you observe versus what you expect, and why this is a problem.
I get the following message when the function Commit() is called:
I expect that the array is created correctly and I can modify the number of copies of the initial box using the parameter table.
3. A complete yet minimal Revit sample model to run a test in.
4. A complete yet minimal macro embedded in the sample model or Visual Studio solution with add-in manifest that can be compiled, loaded, run and debugged with a single click to analyze its behavior live in the sample model.
Find attached a simple Revit plugin which reproduces the issue.
5. Detailed step-by-step instructions for reproducing the issue, e.g. which element to pick, what command to launch etc.
- Run Revit
- Go to "Add-Ins" tab
- Expand "External Tools" button and select "Command ArrayParametric"
- Error - Cannot be ignored: "Changes to groups are allowed only in group edit mode. Use the Edit Group command to change to all instances of a group type. You may use the "Ungroup" option to proceed with this change by ungrouping the changed group instances."
Another question would be if it is possible to constraint the translation vector of that array programmatically?

PickPoint with template
Hey,
I'm working on a tool in C3 using the Revit API. I ask the user to select a point and that point will be used (later) to place different object.
Is there a way tho show a template around the "prompt point" when using "Selection.PickPoint("Pick up a point...");" like a box around (see paint picture ^^)?
Thank you !
