Wall Profile resets

Anonymous — Wed, 04 Feb 2015 09:35:56 GMT

Hi there,

I want to know if the profile of a wall is modified. Manually you can see this, because when a wall profile is changed, the option 'Reset Profile' will be available in the Ribbon.

However I can't find the property or trigger in the API. So my question is, how can inspect a wall with the API and see if the profile of a wall is modified ?

I understand you have questions about finding the trigger for wall profiles via Revit API. The API is not supported but I found the following links that may be useful.

Here's another forum post that may yield some additional information.

Hope this helps and thanks for posting.
