Scope Box?

[clparvez]

Is it possible to use the API to create a scope box? I don't find a createscopebox sort of method any where.

Hi Cindy

The Revit API does not expose any ScopeBox class and neither does there seem to be a way to create a new Scope Box using the API. If a Revit model does have an existing scopebox, we can do certain changes to them like moving it around, but we again, wont be able to resize it.

Sorry for the bad news.

So your saying I should add this to the wish list.   It would be a nice thing to be able to do... thanks for replying so quickly.

Is it now possible to programmatically create a scope box and control it's dimensions and location? Dale

I'm also curious if this is going to be possible through the Revit API, as far as I understand it's currently still not the case? It's on my wish list as well!

Any update for 2017?

According to this app : https://apps.autodesk.com/RVT/fr/Detail/Index?id=6897465823377340538&appLang=en&os=Win64. It is possible but I didn't find how yet. If anyone find out, it would help.

Edit :

Actually it has been answered here : https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-api-forum/create-scope-boxes/m-p/7050125#M22530

This app copy and eventually rename scope box. It doesn't modify existing bounding boxes.
