C# revit API - CREATE PARAMETER FILTER - SETRULES METHOD DEPRECATED

[Anonymous]

Hello Everyone,

I try to solve a problem since a moment, but I did not find the solution yet.

I use REVIT 2019.

In this version I use "SetRules" Method in a macro which has to create Parameter filters.

This Method works today in REVIT 2019.

But When compiling the code, I have a warning message. It warns me against the Method "SetRules" which is deprecated and will not be available anymore in the next version of REVIT.

It suggests me to use the method "SetElementFilter" instead of "SetRules".

But I Don't find any example of this new Method.

Moreover these two methods Don't have the same entry argument.

Setrules has a list of Filterrule as entry argument

SetElementFilter would have ElementFilter as entry argument

Could someone help me concerning this problem? Can we have a example that works?

On Autodesk

Thank you Very much

Hi

You may noticed that the ElementParameterFilter is derived class of ElementFilter.

So, you can create ElementParameterFilter with origin FilterRules and then use these ElementParameterFilter for SetElementFilter. 

Find more details about the ElementParameterFilter API here:

Hi

Could you give me an example please?

??

instead of using

ParameterFilterElement.SetRules(fRules)

you need to use

ParameterFilterElement.SetElementFilter(new ElementParameterFilter(fRules))

hope that helps,

Best, Luki
