How to access a Railing's slope options through API?
We can select a railing's slope option through Revit UI(manually):
"Edit Path"->pick a sketch line->then pick an option (By Host, Flat, or Sloped) on Revit UI.
Can I do this through Revit API? If yes, how?
I notice there is an Enumeration called "RailingSlopeOption " in Revit API documents, but cannot figure out how to use it.
Anyone can help or give some suggestions,
Thanks.

Re: struct or class or dictionary
Two ideas:
1. Revit lookup table help says this:
- The size_lookup function is intended for instance parameters. If you want to use tabular data to define types with unique values for each type, create a type catalog
2. Can you just put the 12.7 mm bolts in the lookup table as 127, and divide by 10 after you have found the correct column in the lookup table?

Actually, a 3rd idea also: Are you sure you aren't using an integer number somewhere instead of a double? Or maybe the 12.7 is getting converted to an integer?

Re: Get title of ViewSchedule and edit it.
Isn't the title always the same as the view name?
I'm not sure you can set the grid lines through the API. Not everything that is available in the UI is available in the API.
The closest I can get is to create a view template with the grid lines turned on, and then apply the template to the view. This is written for a C# macro, so you may need to change the uidoc and doc lines if using in a add-in.
It searches for a view name, sets it to the current view, and then displays the title (the same as the name) in a dialog box, and then sets a template.
public void testviewschedule()
{
UIDocument uidoc = this.ActiveUIDocument;
Document doc = this.ActiveUIDocument.Document;
string viewname = "DRAWING LIST";
FilteredElementCollector collector = new FilteredElementCollector(doc);
collector.OfClass(typeof(ViewSchedule));
foreach (ViewSchedule current in collector)
{
if (current.Name == viewname)
{
uidoc.ActiveView = current;
uidoc.RefreshActiveView();
break;
} // end if
}// end foreach ViewSection
TaskDialog.Show("Revit", uidoc.ActiveView.Title.ToString ());
View viewTemplate = (from v in new FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(typeof(View)).Cast<View>()
where v.IsTemplate == true && v.Name == "my template"
select v).First();
using (Transaction t = new Transaction(doc,"Set View Template"))
{
t.Start();
doc.ActiveView.ViewTemplateId = viewTemplate.Id;
t.Commit();
}
}// end testview schedule

Move BoundingBoxXYZ using Transform
Hi all,
I'm trying to understand Transform in Revit API. I want to move a View.Cropbox with an offset. Here is by code:
//get current View
View myView;
XYZ myOffset = new XYZ(100, 200, 0);
Transform t = Transform.CreateTranslation(myOffset);
//current BoundingBox
BoundingBoxXYZ curBBox = myView.CropBox;
//create new BoundingBox
BoundingBoxXYZ newBBox = new BoundingBoxXYZ();
newBBox.Min = curBBox.Min;
newBBox.Max = curBBox.Max;
newBBox.Transform = t;
//apply cropbox to view
myView.CropBox = newBBox;
myView.CropBox.Transform = newBBox.Transform;
doc.Regenerate();
But It doesn't change.
One another way is moving newBBox.Min and newBBox.Max but like I said on first row, I hope find the better way using Transform.
Anyone can help?
Thank you.

Re: Move BoundingBoxXYZ using Transform
Hi!
There is a remark in SDK about View.CropBox property:
Note: the Transform of the input BoundingBoxXYZ is ignored. Only Max and Min members of the input BoundingBoxXYZ are used.
Unfortunately, this means, that you can control only view plans crop box by setting View.CropBox property value, because for section views crop box transform is an essential part.
In your case you can assign
newBBox.Min = t.OfPoint(curBBox.Min); newBBox.Max = t.OfPoint(curBBox.Max);
for section views it will either throw an exception (box is empty) or the result won't be valid.
But you can create new SectionView or change cropbox using ViewCropRegionShapeManager and far clip plane distance parameter.
For 3D views use another methods: GetSectionBox/SetSectionBox. I didn't try, but I am pretty sure, if you define boundingBox.Transform and pass it to SetSectionBox it all be ok.

Re: How to have default string value for all unmodified Shared Parameters?
Hi!
For example, like this:
var uiapp = commandData.Application;
var uidoc = uiapp.ActiveUIDocument;
var doc = uidoc.Document;
var parameterId = new Guid("<your parameter GUID>");
var sharedParameterElement = SharedParameterElement.Lookup(doc, parameterId);
var valueRule = ParameterFilterRuleFactory.CreateEqualsRule(sharedParameterElement.Id, string.Empty, false);
var parameterApplicableFilterRule = new SharedParameterApplicableRule(sharedParameterElement.Name);
var filter = new ElementParameterFilter(new [] {parameterApplicableFilterRule, valueRule});
var collector = new FilteredElementCollector(doc);
var parameters = collector
.WherePasses(filter)
.Select(x => x.get_Parameter(parameterId))
.Where(x => !x.IsReadOnly);
using (var transaction = new Transaction(doc, "fill values"))
{
transaction.Start();
foreach (var parameter in parameters)
parameter.Set("N/A");
transaction.Commit();
}
return Result.Succeeded;

Re: How detect if the space between two connectors can hold a elbow？
Hi!
Your connectors could be at the same place and NewElbowFitting method will create an elbow if the angle between connectors is invalid.
Actully, you should check ducts (pipes, conduits or cable trays) length to ensure, that it will remain at the same direction. I don't know a good method to check this before creating new elbow, because elbows are user families, and they can be designed in various ways. But you can try to use Failures API to catch such situations and try to fix them

Re: How to have default string value for all unmodified Shared Parameters?
I don't think that's what I'm asking for.
I'm not trying to set the value of a parameter after it was created. I'm trying to set the "default" string value of any shared parameter of that type.
For example, if I run my Shared Parameter script, it will install a shared parameter on all "Doors." Let call this parameter: "TestingParm"
I know how to set the value (in the API's) of this parameter to be something like "Executed."
However, if a new user adds a new door, the shared parameter is on that family. Since the user didn't run my script, the value is set to "".
I want any new element that has my script-created shared parameter on it to default to "N/A". If they run my script in the future, it will change the default and set the parameter to "Executed."
Get what I'm saying?

Re: How to have default string value for all unmodified Shared Parameters?
So, explore Dynamic Updater framework (look at IUpdater interface and UpdaterRegistry) and set a default parameter value for all created doors. Look here for details: http://thebuildingcoder.typepad.com/blog/about-the-author.html#5.31

Re: Get title of ViewSchedule and edit it.
hi,
You may refer to code snippet below to access and update viewschedule tile(which is the hear section):
ViewSchedule vs = this.Document.ActiveView as ViewSchedule;
if(null == vs)
throw new ArgumentException("The active view is not a view schedule!");
//
// get header section
Transaction tran = new Transaction(this.Document, "Update Header");
tran.Start();
TableData td = vs.GetTableData(); // get viewschedule table data
TableSectionData tsd = td.GetSectionData(SectionType.Header); // get header section data
string text = tsd.GetCellText(0, 0);
tsd.SetCellText(0, 0, "my new title");
//
// insert columns
tsd.InsertColumn(0);
tran.Commit();
