Get element of variant or get the variant of an element

Anonymous — Wed, 18 Jul 2018 09:20:37 GMT

Hello !

First of all, i don't know if the word 'variant' is the good translation from "Variante" in French.

So, if it's not clear for you, i'll try to clarifie it.

I would like to get the property "variant" of a element, or get all element of one variant.

I made somes search but i didn't find anything...

Can you help me ?

Regards,

Maxence

Hi,

After have make more research, i figured out it's "design option" in english version.

So i found this :

ElementId activeOptId = Autodesk.Revit.DB.DesignOption.GetActiveDesignOptionId(m_doc);
            ElementDesignOptionFilter filter = new ElementDesignOptionFilter(activeOptId);
            //

            FilteredElementCollector collector = new FilteredElementCollector(m_doc);
            IList<Element> m_elementsToProcess = collector.WherePasses(filter).WhereElementIsNotElementType().ToElements();

So now i'm looking to get the "design option" of an element when I don't use this filtre,
