InserImage into any cell in ViewSchedule Table Header and simple Image Import

Anonymous — Wed, 28 Sep 2016 05:06:42 GMT

Good morning colleagues.

Can anybody suggest how to insert an image into a cell in ViewSchedule Table Header? More precisely, how to import an image into project before you paste the image into a ViewSchedule Table Header cell?

If you can, then tell me that out of himself, in more detail, is a method of Document.Import!!!

The problem is that I can not properly import the image:
1. I have an object ViewShedule
2. Inside this object there is a table
3. In the header of the table has cells
4. It is necessary to programmatically insert an image in a cell
5. To insert an image in a cell, it must first be uploaded / imported in the project

Question: how to do?

I do not understand that I am required to import method, which has the input parameters:

1. file As String - I understand it!

2. options As Autodesk.Revit.DB.ImageImportOptions - I do not understand !!! What do these options mean? How to create this object is clear to me (Dim options As New Autodesk.Revit.DB.ImageImportOptions).But that is where you can write down - I want to know?! If at all there is something we need to record ...

3. view As Autodesk.Revit.DB.View - I do not understand !!! What is the object I should point out here? It should be my ViewShedule object or something else?

4. ByRef element As Autodesk.Revit.DB.Element - I do not understand at all !!! What element I suposed to use?

Please, help me to understand this moment.

Dear Evgeniy Pashin,

1: The Document.Import(string file, ImageImportOptions options, View view, out Element element) has no any problem to import image to project; From UI, we can insert image via Insert Tab\Import Panel\Image, the Import API just does what UI does.

2: If you want to insert image to TableCell, you should consider another API: TableSectionCell.InsertImage(); besides, to insert image, you should build one ImageType firstly; following code demonstrates how to achieve this:

		/// <summary>
		/// Builds one ImageType and then import it to schedule cell.
		/// </summary>
		public void InsertImage2Schedule()
		{
			// build one ImageType from image in disk
			Document revitDoc = this.ActiveUIDocument.Document;
			ElementId imageId = ElementId.InvalidElementId;
			using(Transaction tran = new Transaction(revitDoc, "Image Type"))
			{
				tran.Start();
				ImageType imageTpe = ImageType.Create(revitDoc, "C:\\ThumbNail.jpg");
				imageId = imageTpe.Id;
				tran.Commit();
			}
			//
			// insert this image to schedule cell 
			ViewSchedule vs = this.ActiveUIDocument.ActiveView as ViewSchedule;
			TableData td = vs.GetTableData();
			TableSectionData tsd = td.GetSectionData(0);
			if(tsd.IsValidImageSymbolId(imageId))
			{
				using(Transaction tran = new Transaction(revitDoc, "Insert Image"))
				{
					tran.Start();
					tsd.InsertImage(0, 0, imageId);
					tran.Commit();
				}
			}
		}

Hello,

I see you can set a cells imagesymbolid, but any clues how to get the imagesymbolid?

Kind Regards

David
