Automatic creation of section views

[jeroen.vanvlierden]

I am writing an addin that creates section views for all the windows in a project, inspired by this article of Jeremy Tammik

https://thebuildingcoder.typepad.com/blog/2012/06/create-section-view-parallel-to-wall.html

already 10 years old, but the code works like a charm, when the walls are located on the ground floor!

however there is something wrong when I try to use this code on the second floor of a testproject

does somebody see what needs to be adjusted?

Found it!

need to consider the elevation of the view

var elevation = uidoc.ActiveView.GenLevel.Elevation;
XYZ min = new XYZ(-w, minZ - offset - elevation, -offset);
XYZ max = new XYZ(w, maxZ + offset - elevation, 0);

but without the example, provided in 2012, I would not have been able to do it
