Re: Modify CropBox of Elevation View

OK, something is definitely going wrong here.

I modified to code to simply obtain the Cropbox Min and Max values of the existing view, and then create a new Cropbox with the existing Min and Max values and assign it back to the same view.

In other words - I'm setting the view with the same settings and so nothing should change.

#For this to work you need an Elevation View called 'TEST;
#Get all views and find the one called 'TEST'
allViews = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(View).ToElements()

viewtopick = "TEST"

for f in allViews:
	if f.Name == "TEST":
		viewtouse = f


#Change the Min value of the crop box of view 'TEST'
t = Transaction(doc, "Update cropbox")
t.Start()

#Get View cropbox
viewcropbox = viewtouse.CropBox

#Create a new Bounding Box
newbox = BoundingBoxXYZ()

#Get the min and max values of existing view's Cropbox
exmincb = viewcropbox.Min
exmaxcb = viewcropbox.Max

#Set the min and Max values of BoundingBox to the same as the old values
newbox.Min = exmincb
newbox.Max = exmaxcb

viewtouse.CropBox = newbox

t.Commit()

#Assign your output to the OUT variable.
OUT = ["Cropbox existing:",exmincb, exmaxcb, newbox]

But it does!

If I run the code, the view box flips, when I run it again it flips back again:

I don't understand why this is happening, Perhaps its a bug? I don't see why setting the View crop with the same settings as its currently using is changing anything??
