Renaming views after creation

Anonymous — Tue, 26 Jun 2018 17:03:30 GMT

Hi All,

I'm creating a routine that creates new plan views (structural plans) from the structural plans that are in my project, but these new structural plans will have a different view template.

The portion of the routine I made is as follows:

using (Transaction tx = new Transaction(doc, "View Creation"))
                {
                    tx.Start();

                    // Create new views with desired template applied
                    foreach (View v in plantas)
                    {
                        ElementId levelId = v.GenLevel.Id;
                        ViewPlan vista = ViewPlan.Create(doc, vft.Id, levelId);

                        vista.Name = vista.Name + " - Thick";
                        vista.Name.Replace("(1)", "");

                        // Apply the template
                        vista.ViewTemplateId = vTemplate.Id;
                    }                   

                    tx.Commit();
                }

The problem is, that when I do this, Revit prompts a message telling that a unique name is needed, but in my code, after the view creation, I set a different name.

What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance!

I found the solution to my problem. I had a repeated plan view that was making troubles.

My bad.

Cheers!
