Using existing searchsets w/ API

Anonymous — Sun, 18 May 2014 13:48:19 GMT

Hello,

I have many searchsets that are/will be defined by the user through navisworks UI.

I would like to use these existing searchsets for further actions. preferably reach those existing searchsets by their display name (as defined by their creator-the user).

Every written/help material I've found so far (documentation, xiaodong's blog..) only refered to generating "new searchsets" by defining conditions on the code.

any guidance will be appreciated.

Hi @ritikk_TWEMT4ENWAYA ,

Please take a look at this below code

Document doc = Autodesk.Navisworks.Api.Application.ActiveDocument; SavedItemCollection searchAndSelectionSets=doc.SelectionSets.Value; IList<SavedItem> requiredSearchSets = new List<SavedItem>(); foreach(SavedItem savedItem in searchAndSelectionSets) { SelectionSet selectionSearchSet = savedItem as SelectionSet; if(selectionSearchSet.HasSearch) { //Check whether SelectionSet.HasSearch value //If "true", it is a "Search Set" //If "false", it is a "Selection Set" requiredSearchSets.Add(selectionSearchSet); } } foreach(SavedItem savedItem in requiredSearchSets) { SelectionSet searchSet=savedItem as SelectionSet; ModelItemCollection modelItemCollection= searchSet.GetSelectedItems(); foreach(ModelItem modelItem in modelItemCollection) { //Access Search Set Model Items here } }

I hope this helps.
