How to create Element Keynote for a wall and Material Keynote?

Anonymous — Mon, 13 May 2013 19:40:55 GMT

Hello to everyone!

I'm trying to create Element Keynote for a wall and Material Keynote for it's materials (to make it like this http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/media/gallerypage/user-id/1240000/image-id/52414iD032159FA2052B0E) bit I'm completely stuck on it.

I tried to create a tag how it was shown in this blog post: http://thebuildingcoder.typepad.com/blog/2010/06/set-tag-type.html But I can't change a keynote tag to OST_KeynoteTags and to associate it with

FamilySymbol keynoteTagType = GetFirstFamilySymbol(doc, BuiltInCategory.OST_KeynoteTags);
IndependentTag newTag = doc.Create.NewTag(view, wall, true, tagMode, tagorn, wallMid);

but Revit doesn't allow me to do this:

newTag.ChangeTypeId(keynoteTagType.Id);

or maybe I'm on the wrong path...

Even via Revit UI, we cannot change a normal tag to keynote's type.

Revit didn't expose the API to create keynote. I reported to the engineering team of this API request.

Thank you for your answer!
I'll try to find another way to reach the same functionality
