Re: HasReflection property in the Transform class?

Hi!

 

It is true, at least until all 3 basis vectors are orthogonal, you can also test it by checking Transform.IsConfromal property value.

 

Any valid transformation (e.g. matrix determinant is not equal to zero) can be described as a combination of translation, rotation, scaling and reflection matrices. Only reflection matrices change the handedness of a coordinate system. You can also check it: t.BasisX.CrossProduct(t.BasisY) should return t.BasisZ value. If it is so, your transform does not have reflection and determinant is positive.

 

If you change the direction of one of transform basis or swap 2 vectors (for example BasisX and BasisY) the transform will determine reflection, its determinant will become negative and BasisX x BasisY will be -1*BasisZ

Missing /AdWindows;component/themes/badge.xaml

I've been having a few different problems while trying to load a plugin into Revit. The plugin worked a few weeks ago, then I added a few things and it stopped working due to multiple problems. I'm not sure if any of them are related to the others, so I'll give you a rundown of what I've changed.

 

First I added a reference to EntityFramework. When loading the plugin in revit, it failed to find the referenced dll. I got past that by adding an assembly resolver that loaded the dll manually. That got me past a few different dll problems. Each of these are handled by a specific case.

This is how I resolved them:

if (args.Name.Contains("Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore"))
{
	string assemblyFile = Path.Combine(Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location), "Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.dll");
	if (File.Exists(assemblyFile))
	{
		return Assembly.LoadFrom(assemblyFile);
	}
}
//Checked for all other dlls with known issues
return null;

Now that I can get the plugin to load into revit when I start it up, I hit another problem when I try to open a new project. As soon as I try to load one of the given templates (or click on the add-ins tab), I get the following exception.

System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException
  HResult=0x80131501

Hi!

 

You can add a reference to UIFramework.dll (it is in the same folder as RevitAPI.dll)

 

Then you can control specific tab visibility:

var rc = RevitRibbonControl.RibbonControl;

var tab = rc.FindTab("<your tab name>");

tab?.IsVisible = false; // or true

It can be done in ViewActivated event handler, something like:

private void OnViewActivated(object sender, ViewActivatedEventArgs e)
        {
...
            tab.IsVisible = !e.Document.IsFamilyDocument;
        }

Dear All,

Can I open the Revit 2019.1 SDK .csproj samples?

I just started learning C# to develop a plugin for Revit in .net and I went through the HelloWorld tutorial.

I was looking foward to be able to learn from the Revit 2019.1 SDK samples found here:

https://www.autodesk.com/developer-network/platform-technologies/revit

 

How can I open the csproj samples files ?

 

I want to be able to open the csproj files of the Revit 2019.1 SDK samples to learn from the addins created. Can I do that?

When I try to open them I get an error message:

"The imported project "C:/Revit 2019.1SDK\Samples\Events\<name of sample I want to open>\CS\VSProps\SDKSamples.targets" was not found. Confirm that the path in the <Import> declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk. C:\Revit2019.1SDK\Samples|Events\<name of sample I want to open>\CS\<name of sample I want to open>.csproj"

(see attached png).

 

In fact, I can't find the SDKSamples.targets

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Insulation in FabricationPart doesn't get intersected through ReferenceInter

Hi JeffYao,

     I created a duct (Height:305mm, Width:305mm) with 25mm insulation thickness in Revit 2018 accroding to your attachment, and codes as below:

var doc = commandData.Application.ActiveUIDocument.Document;
var referenceIntersector = new ReferenceIntersector(new ElementIsElementTypeFilter(true),FindReferenceTarget.All, (View3D)commandData.Application.ActiveUIDocument.ActiveView);
var refInContextlist = referenceIntersector.Find(new XYZ(0, 0, 0), XYZ.BasisZ);

 I found six data in refInContextlist:
    1. Proximity = 9.34219160104987
    2. Proximity = 10.342847769028872
    3. Proximity = 9.34219160104987
    4. Proximity = 10.4248687664042
    5. Proximity = 9.26017060367454
    6. Proximity = 9.26017060367454
so:
    (9.34219160104987-9.26017060367454)*304.8 = 25mm.

It means insulation in FabricationPart could get intersected through ReferenceIntersect.
I advise that you could use Find() function not FindNearest() function to find project point in insulation. I will inform Revit team to investigate why the closest data is not in the first place.

Wish it is helpful for you :)

Re: HasReflection property in the Transform class?

Thanks for the explanation aignatovich.  Quite helpful.  My lingering questions are related specifically to the implementation details of the HasReflection property and how the Revit API makes that decision.  Think I may have just found the answer though.

 

The api documentation states, "Reflection transformation changes the handedness of a coordinate system."

 

So that seems to be the answer.  HasReflection seems to just be an evaluation of whether or not the associated Transform matrix results in a change to the handedness of the coordinate system.  But if anyone knows otherwise, please correct me.

Yup, that would be the reason.

 

I would recommend looking at C# or Python instead. They are both fine.

No idea whatsoever why you see these messages. I never heard of them.

 

Yes, I do have an idea to fix it, and I use it myself all the time.

 

Whenever anyone shares an add-in with me, I do not try to adapt it to run on my system.

 

Instead, I use the Visual Studio Revit add-in wizard to create myself a new add-in skeleton, all automatically set up and ready to run:

 

http://thebuildingcoder.typepad.com/blog/about-the-author.html#5.20

 

Then I just copy the new code into its external command and external application modules and I'm set with no hassles.

How to filter elements through the Tab?

The title is maybe a little confusing. For example, I had a List<Element> elements. As shown in the figure below, the System Tab owns various element types: HVAC type, Fabrication type, Mechanical type, Piping type, Electrical type. I need to classify the elements list by these types. Is there any method to implement this? Revit.png

Single Wall finish

Dear Forum Members,

If I want to change the color of a selected  wall I can do it via

doc.ActiveView.set_ProjColorOverrideByElement(     ids, color );

Using this the color of only the single wall changes without other walls being modified.

In the same manner how do I change the finish of the selected wall without modifying other walls.

Thanks & Regards

Use FilteredElementCollector to collect elements and get the type of the elements and with the help of the type classify the elements

 FilteredElementCollector Collector = new FilteredElementCollector(doc).WhereElementIsNotElementType();
                IList<ElementId> all_eids = Collector.ToElementIds() as IList<ElementId>;

                IList<ElementId> mech_ids = new List<ElementId>();
                IList<ElementId> elec_ids = new List<ElementId>();
                IList<ElementId> HVAC_ids = new List<ElementId>();
                IList<ElementId> piping_ids = new List<ElementId>();
                IList<ElementId> fabrication_ids = new List<ElementId>();

                foreach(ElementId eid in all_eids)
                {
                    Element e = doc.GetElement(eid);
                    Type T = e.GetType() as Type;
                    if(T.Name.Contains("Mechanical"))
                    {
                        mech_ids.Add(e.Id);
                    }
                    if(T.Name.Contains("Electrical"))
                    {
                        elec_ids.Add(e.Id);
                    }
                    if(T.Name.Contains("HVAC"))
                    {
                        HVAC_ids.Add(e.Id);
                    }
                    if(T.Name.Contains("Piping"))

Does the wall finish correspond to an individual Revit database element? If so, you could presumably pass in it element id to the same method you use for the wall. You should be able to determine that with RevitLookup.
