Editing a floor: How to delete an existing internal SlabShapeVertex

[Anonymous]

When editing a floor I need to delete a single internal SlabShapeVertex, but the SlabShapeEditor does not supply any method for deleting a single existing vertex.

SlabShapeEditor contains methods like DrawPoint, ModifySubElement and ResetSlabShape but no such method as DeletePoint or DeleteVertex.

Any ideas on how to solve this task?

Dear Jan,

Is it possible manually in the user interface?

If not, the API will probably not support it either.

Hi Jeremy

Thanks for your reply

Actually you can delete an internal vertex using the user interface.

1. Mark the floor

2. Click Modily Sub Elements

3. Klick on the vertex (Sub Element)

4. Press Delete on the keyboard

That is why I wondered why the same task seems to be impossible using the API

Hi Jeremy

Great if this functionality could be added in the future. As a workaround I also looked for (but did not find) a method to change existing internal FloorSlabVertices XYZ values. So now I am stuck.

Answers to your questions ...

• The number of users affected:
  Not quite sure. My customer is an international architecture company but i do not know the exact number of Revit users, that potentially would use the functionality that we wanted to develop.
• The potential revenue impact to you:
  To me ... None
  To my cusomer ... some impact because they will need to accept a less satisfactory solution or change (if possible) their work processes in order to solve the task and keep the quality of the BIM information carried by the Floor object.
  
• The potential revenue impact to Autodesk.
  ...
  
• Realistic timescale over which a fix would help you.
  Asap

Dear Jan,

Thank you again for raising this.

The development team reply: "Would be a good enhancement. Closing as Code Fix Needed, then I will add it it to customer feedback requests."

The database entry REVIT-94731 [API wish: delete SlabShapeVertex -- 11963312] has been closed and a new issue opened for adding this functionality to the next major release of Revit.

Best regards,

Jeremy

Has anything changed since 2016? Is there a function to remove points?

Dear Oksana,

Thank you again for raising this again.

As mentioned above, the development team closed the ticket REVIT-94731 [API wish: delete SlabShapeVertex -- 11963312] as 'code fix needed' and raised a new wish list entry in the ticket CF-4609 [API wish: delete SlabShapeVertex -- 11963312] for this functionality.

I added your new query to that.

To raise its priority further, you might want to check the Revit Idea Station for an existing entry and vote for it, or add a new one.

Whenever you require new or enhanced functionality, the Revit Idea Station is the place to go.

Please search there for a corresponding wish list entry for the suggested functionality and add your comments to it, or create a new one, if none already exists:

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-ideas/idb-p/302

Tag it as an API wish:

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-ideas/idb-p/302/tab/most-recent/label-name/api

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.

Thank you!

Hi, there.

Does anybody know what's the status of the problem now?

I've checked "Revit Idea Station", but haven't found anything relevant to deleting SlabShapeVertex
