Autodesk Revit API

[#1]

hi,

I'm trying to deal with a pcg file, which is a 3D point cloud format in Revit.

This is what I want to do.

1. get each point in a point cloud

2. change the value of some parts in a point cloud.

In short, it seems that I acquire values of each point, but editing them doesn't seem to work.

Below is the code,

so if have any idea, please help me.

I'm struggling with it. T_T

p,s also, the bounding box of point cloud gets null !!!! why???!!

public Result Execute(ExternalCommandData commandData, ref string message, ElementSet elements)
{

UIApplication uiapp = commandData.Application;
UIDocument uidoc = uiapp.ActiveUIDocument;
Application app = uiapp.Application;
Document doc = uidoc.Document;

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Transaction tr = new Transaction(doc, "FailureMessage Posting");

tr.Start();

try
{
PointCloudType type = PointCloudType.Create(doc, "pcg", @"d:\\test.pcg");
PointCloudInstance pcInstance = PointCloudInstance.Create(doc, type.Id, Transform.Identity);

if (doc != null)

{
BoundingBoxXYZ boundingBox = pcInstance.get_BoundingBox(null);

if (boundingBox != null)

{
;
}
else
{

boundingBox = new BoundingBoxXYZ();

boundingBox.Min = new XYZ(-999999999, -999999999, -999999999);
boundingBox.Max = new XYZ(999999999, 99999999, 99999999);

List<Plane> planes = new List<Plane>();

planes.Add(app.Create.NewPlane(XYZ.BasisX, boundingBox.Min));
planes.Add(app.Create.NewPlane(-XYZ.BasisX, boundingBox.Max));

planes.Add(app.Create.NewPlane(XYZ.BasisY, boundingBox.Min));
planes.Add(app.Create.NewPlane(-XYZ.BasisY, boundingBox.Max));

planes.Add(app.Create.NewPlane(XYZ.BasisZ, boundingBox.Min));
planes.Add(app.Create.NewPlane(-XYZ.BasisZ, boundingBox.Max));

PointCloudFilter filter = PointCloudFilterFactory.CreateMultiPlaneFilter(planes);
pcInstance.FilterAction = SelectionFilterAction.Highlight;

PointCollection points = pcInstance.GetPoints(filter, 100000);

System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(points.Count.ToString());

unsafe

{
CloudPoint* pointBuffer = (CloudPoint*)points.GetPointBufferPointer().ToPointer();

int totalCount = points.Count;
for (int numberOfPoints = 0; numberOfPoints < totalCount; numberOfPoints++)
{
CloudPoint point = *(pointBuffer + numberOfPoints);

System.Drawing.Color color = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromWin32(point.Color);
String pointDescription = String.Format("({0}, {1}, {2}, {3}",
point.X, point.Y, point.Z, color.ToString());

(*(pointBuffer + numberOfPoints)).X = 0;

(*(pointBuffer + numberOfPoints)).Y = 0;
(*(pointBuffer + numberOfPoints)).Z = 0;
(*(pointBuffer + numberOfPoints)).Color = 0;

(*(pointBuffer + numberOfPoints)) = new CloudPoint(0, 0, 0, 0);
}
}

}

}

tr.Commit();

try

{
;// XYZ midpoint = (boundingBox.Min + boundingBox.Max) / 2.0;
}
catch (Exception ex)

return Autodesk.Revit.UI.Result.Failed;

}
catch (Exception ex)

Hi,

About the get BoundingBox, can you quick try Regenerate the document before? Changes on geometry do not take effect until the end of command, unless with a call to this method.
