computeReferences?

[Anonymous]

So I have written this function to prompt the user to select a face:

        Public Function SelectSingleFace() As Face
           
            Dim selectedReference As Reference = _uidoc.Selection.PickObject(ObjectType.Face, "Select Face")
            Dim e As Element = _uidoc.Document.GetElement(selectedReference.ElementId)
            Return (TryCast(e.GetGeometryObjectFromReference(selectedReference), Face))

        End Function

Which generally works ok, however the returned face does not compute references. ie.

SelectSingleFace.Reference = nothing

Is there a way to turn on computeReferences prior to calling PickObject?

Thanks,

Brett

No, not that I am aware of.

You can query the picked element for its geometry after the pick completes, and specify compute references in that call.
