snoop db : Snoop selection with an array of strings

ivo.lafeber — Sun, 09 Apr 2023 23:54:37 GMT

I have an extensible storage with an array of strings, the array is used to add some unique id’s of other element’s to an element.

I can write / read the data, but snoop db gives a list of char’s instead of one string, is this a flaw in my software, or is it a strange way of showing the data in snoop db.

Dim KabelIdList As New List(Of String)

KabelIdList.Add(“test”)

Kabel_Entity.[Set](Of IList(Of String))("Unieque_ElementId", KabelIdList)

Yes, that seems a bit suboptimal.

Have you tried out what it looks like in the new and vastly improved RevitLookup 2024?

The new version can also be used in an older release of Revit.

Anyway, I asked Nice3point for you whether he can explain:

Hi @jeremy_tammik , unfortunately this is still an issue in the new RevitLookup. It is VERY slow to open this window.

This is how I got to the field:
