Accept primary design option in DesignOptionSet class

[michael_tumminello]

Would like to accept the primary design option in model.

Dear michael_tumminello,

If you want to edit design options via Revit API, you should use PostableCommand. See codes below:

public Result Execute(ExternalCommandData commandData, ref string message, ElementSet elements)
        {
            
            commandData.Application.PostCommand(RevitCommandId.LookupPostableCommandId(PostableCommand.DesignOptions));

            return Result.Succeeded;
        }

Thanks for your reply.  What I am looking for is the ability to programmatically accept primary design options without going through the UI.  I believe the postable command will just open the interface where I would then be able to manually accept options?  The use case for this request is at the end of a project, when we are archiving models, it would be nice to have a method where we can run that as part of an overall clean-up process.  I will move this to revit ideas.  Thanks again.

Dear Michael,

Here is an unofficial and unsupported workaround, maybe:
