Edit closed views

[Anonymous]

Hello,

Im busy to change the location and shape of Detail lines in Section view. I have a problem if the view is close because I cant edit the detail line. Just it works if the view is open.

how can i solve this problem?

Regards,

My test (Revit 2016) works fine.

I suspect you use doc.ActiveView somewhere in your code. 

if so you'd have to use the Ownerview of the detailLine.

my testcode: 

            DetailCurve dc = doc.GetElement(new ElementId(2043213)) as DetailCurve;
                using (Transaction t = new Transaction(doc, "offset detailLine"))
                {
                    t.Start();
                    View view = doc.GetElement(dc.OwnerViewId) as View;
                    Plane pl = dc.SketchPlane.GetPlane();
                    dc.SetGeometryCurve( Line.CreateBound(pl.Origin,pl.Origin.Add(pl.XVec)),true);
                    t.Commit();
                }
