Create a secton view with split crop region

[MvL_WAG]

Hello Everybody,

My quest is to create a script that creates a section view with a split crop region.

Below my (simplified) python script to make this possible:

#The inputs to this node will be stored as a list in the IN variables.
view = UnwrapElement(IN[0][0]) #SectionView created before

TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
cropRegionMananager = view.GetCropRegionShapeManager() #get cropregion of view
cropRegionMananager.SplitRegionVertically(0,0.1,0.5) #split cropregion vertical at 0.1 of height and 0.5 of height

TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()

Result of above script: 

Result of script

 When you select a split cropregion, a two sided arrow show op in the center of the region, when hovering, it says move view region (see image below). I can't seem to find how to use this function with the use of the api.

highlighted function I would like to use in APIBelow, the wanted result of my script, (a split crop region, moved to be near the other part of the crop region).
Wanted End Result

 Does anybody know if this is can be done?

I would be helped a lot,

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jeremy- sorry to pull you in on this as well. I wasn't sure if @JimJia was still active on this forum. Do you know off hand if this functionality is planned for in a future version?

Dear Ben,

Thank you for your query.

If you knew the inside of my head, you would know that I know very little off-hand.

That is why I write things down, for others and for myself.

Yes, indeed, Jim Jia is not very active here anymore.

Have you checked the Revit Idea Station for a corresponding entry, as he suggested?

If you can't find one, please submit it.

Tag it as an API wish:

Ensure it gets as many votes as possible to underline its importance to you and the rest of the developer community.

The Revit Idea Station is currently one of the main driving input forces for Revit API enhancements.

The Revit development team look there. Your comment here in the discussion forum might be overlooked.
