Copy to selected levels faster

[Anonymous]

Hi

In revit there is a feature called copy to selected level. How do  automate this feature but the challenge is speed. The objective is to reduce the time to do so.

Thanks & Regards

Dear mustafa,

I think I didn't chose right words for the problem. So I will rephrase:

say for example I have a few walls doors windows etc on level  1.

now I select them all and copy them

now from the paste menu I select paste - aligned to selected levels.

choose all other levels

and click ok.

The selected elements gets copied to all the selected levels.

All This was manual part.

What I am trying to achieve:

Create a tool using copies the elements to selected levels in half the time.

Ok now I got it.

It is so simple.

First prompt the user to select the elements to be copied using Selection.PickObjects Method.

Then use a filter to collect all the views you want to copy the elements to.

Iterate through the views and apply the ElementTransformUtils.CopyElements Method (View, ICollection<(Of <(<'ElementId>)>)>, View, Transform, CopyPasteOptions).

Note: all the above steps must be done from 2D view and to 2D views.

If this reply satisfies your answer don't forget to mark it as a reply.

Cheers

Dear mustafa,

Is not same as copy and paste - aligned to selected levels.

My objective here is to reduce time by minimum half the time doing it manually

Say for example manually copy paste to all levels take 10 mins. I want to
write code which does in 5 mins
