|
Question: the selection of doors and windows are possible with the use of filer in Revet without API, so what the meaning of it?
|
|
Answer: sorry for the confusion, the filter is part of the API
|
|
Question: Is it right? In revit you can filter all the windows, but through revit api, you could filter a window with certain size?
|
|
Answer: yes that correct, you can use the FilteredElementCollector and pass in the class (FamilyInstance), category (OST_Windows) and Type (the specific size) and you should be able to get what you need.
|
|
Question: Hi How can I scan ( filter the elements) a certain specific area in the document?

|
|
Question: Is there an API that I can use to edit a wall profile?
|
|
Answer: Sorry this is not possible at the moment, I would think you can delete the wall and create a new wall in that location with a profile you desire to workaround this. http://thebuildingcoder.typepad.com/blog/2011/07/create-gable-wall.html shows how you can have gable wall - a wall with non-regular profile
|
|
Question: Regarding the Question: Is it right? In revit you can filter all the windows, but through revit api, you could filter a window with certain size? >> Response: With the API you can also filter all the windows if you want to just by using the Class and Category filter (without specifying any type).
