How to manage detail and section

[Anonymous]

Hello All, 

I want to manage detail and section by name. 

If some parametr from part in assembly is true/ false or some value, then I want to change visibility of detail (suppress them)  

For exmpl. 

modelNameHorniUkos = IO.Path.GetFileName(ActiveSheet.View("Base_Component").ModelDocument.FullFileName)

If Parameter(modelNameHorniUkos &".d20") = 0 mm   Then 
	ThisDrawing.Sheet("Sheet:1").View("horni ukos").View.Suppressed = True
	Else
		ThisDrawing.Sheet("Sheet:1").View("horni ukos").View.Suppressed = False	
End If

But, I need to rename detail from A to Z. I have VBA code for it, but when I run the code, I´m not able to manage detail suppress. Because details are managing by name. 

Can anybody help me? 

thank you.

Since I don't know how many sheets there may be, and how many views there may be, I am using two loops to search all sheets and all views on each sheet.  It checks if the view is either a Detail view or a Section view, then checks the value of a certain parameter from the model file, then depending on how you want it to react, either suppresses or unsuppresses the view.

Would something like this work for you?

Dim oDDoc As DrawingDocument = ThisDrawing.Document
Dim oModelParams As Parameters = ThisDrawing.ModelDocument.ComponentDefinition.Parameters
For Each oSheet As Sheet In oDDoc.Sheets
	For Each oView As DrawingView In oSheet.DrawingViews
		If oView.ViewType = DrawingViewTypeEnum.kDetailDrawingViewType Or _
			oView.ViewType = DrawingViewTypeEnum.kSectionDrawingViewType Then
			If oModelParams.Item("d20").Value = 0 Then
				oView.Suppressed = True
			Else
				oView.Suppressed = False
			End If
		End If
	Next
Next

I hope this helps.
