Re: Create "solid" and find all elements within

Hey again,

I'm still on the topic and just wanted to post my progress:
I managed to create a new family via GUI that is based on the template "Metric Generic Model face based.rft" that looks close to what I want to create with the API. I then inserted it (also via GUI) into the Revit Architecture Sample Project and now try to find out which elements are intersecting. While that is obvious in the 3D-view, it's again not so easy to get with the API. I tried this and the results were as expected, but since I don't need the intersection with the bounding box but with the geometry that was not useful for me. I then found this and copy-pasted from the Revit API help file to use the "ElementIntersectsElementFilter" and the "ElementIntersectsSolidFilter" classes. Unfortunately the results aren't as expected and now I think about "creating a solid from scratch using the routines in GeometryCreationUtilities" like the help file suggests.

I would still appreciate any help since I'm really not very experienced with the Revit API and expect that there has to be an easier way to achieve all this!?

Regards
