Hello,
I'm using the CopyElements command in order to copy a bunch of ModelLines from a project to a family. I've create the family document and I've the list of lines' reference to copy; the statement I'm using is the following:
ElementTransformUtils.CopyElements(myProjectDocument, new Collection<ElementId>(myListOfReference.Select(r => myProjectDocument.GetElement(r).Id).ToList()), myFamilyDocument, Transform.CreateTranslation(new XYZ(-location.X, -location.Y, 0)), null)
and it correctly copies the lines. After this I close the family document:
myFamilyDocument.SaveAs(completeFilePath);
myFamilyDocument.Close(false);
and insert an instance of this new family into my project:
myProjectDocument.LoadFamilySymbol(familyPath, familyType, new FamilyLoadingOverwriteOption(), out familySymbol);
myProjectDocument.Create.NewFamilyInstance(location, familySymbol, StructuralType.NonStructural);
The instance is correctly inserted and I see the lines and everything is OK with the geometry/family symbol.
The prolem is that the Revit menu has been changed like I'm into a family document and not a project document: Architecture/Structure/Systems/etc ribbons are gone away and a "Load into project" command appears to all the remaining ribbons. I've to lunch another command (like Create extrusion) and exit from the command in order to re-obtain my correct menu.
This is very annoying to do every time I run my command and maybe will lead to new errors for further command development. Does anyone know how to avoid this behavior?
Thank you
Tobia
