Dear all,
Like you'd know, Revit offers various Edit modes, which basically allows user to edit a specific set of (sub)entities while freezing everything else. A handy way to deliver clear ui to the end user.
As plugins, by its very nature, should remain as close as possible to Revit's native UX and interaction philosophy, it would be very appropriate to be able to provide Edit mode from within a plugin - for custom case-specific purposes. My efforts to find a way for achieving this as not been fruitful, so i thought i'd as the community. Any hint, reference or comment will be very helpful and appreciated.
One of the Use Case:
A productivity plugin is creating many element with limited information. Before these elements are 'assimilated' with all existing element in the model, we'd like to have user a chance to verify and adjust the newly created elements. A Custom Edit mode would be perfect solution, if it is possible via api.
Fallback: If this is not possible right now, i'll have to fallback to DockablePane or essentially a non-modal form.
Awaiting your comments. Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Kinjal.
