Get categories corresponding to those shown in the Filter UI

ciganek — Tue, 26 Feb 2019 10:50:23 GMT

I would like to have a list of only those categories shown in the Rule building dialog. Apart from hardcoding these, I haven't found any common properties or utilities to get them. Any tips?

thanks, Peter

I imagine the Revit API currently does not offer any built-in method to retrieve this list.

However, I am asking the development team for you to make sure.

If nothing else helps, please file a request for this in the Revit Idea Station.

Thank you!

Cheers,

Jeremy

Thanks Jeremy,

I'll post the request on the Revit Ideas forum. It would also be nice to know if a category belongs to a specific group (Architecture, Structure, Mechanical, etc...).
