Change parameters with IUpdater

[zimarrio]

Hi,

I wrote an IUpdater that is triggered when a level is changed. What it does is setting some shared parameters in the floors associated with this level in order to change the text displayed on the floor tags.

The problem is that, although it updates the shared parameters, the text on the floor tags only updates if I open the view and click the floor. In other words, the parameter value is changed but the floor tag doesn't refresh until I manually click the floor element.

How can I make it update automatically?

Thanks

I have noticed this before with other tags. Can't recall how or if I was
able to solve it. Maybe try moving the tag or changing one of its
properties to force Revit to update it?

It works! 🙂

I move the tag and put it back where it was:

ElementTransformUtils.MoveElement(doc, t.Id, new XYZ(1, 0, 0));
ElementTransformUtils.MoveElement(doc, t.Id, new XYZ(-1, 0, 0));

Thanks Scott

Nice trick.  I will remeber that one 🙂
