Filter to find views that support visibility

[david_rock]

Hello,

I am looking for a filter that will find all views that support visibility.

for each of the views that I find I want to apply IsFilterApplied(id). However this thows an exception if I try to call on some viewtypes. 

                Dim objFilteredElementCollector1 As FilteredElementCollector = New FilteredElementCollector(objDocument)
                objFilteredElementCollector1.OfClass(GetType(DB.View)).Cast(Of DB.View).Where(Function(v) _
                                                                                                   v.ViewType <> ViewType.ProjectBrowser And
                                                                                                   v.ViewType <> ViewType.SystemBrowser And
                                                                                                   v.ViewType <> ViewType.Schedule And
                                                                                                   v.ViewType <> ViewType.PanelSchedule And
                                                                                                   v.ViewType <> ViewType.PresureLossReport And
                                                                                                   v.ViewType <> ViewType.ColumnSchedule And
                                                                                                   v.ViewType <> ViewType.LoadsReport)
                Dim ListOfViewElementId As List(Of ElementId) = objFilteredElementCollector1.ToElementIds()

Any ideas?

Kind regards

David

A typo? A missing 's' in 'PresureLossReport'?

[david_rock]

Haha, no that's not it. It is the viewtype Enum which is incorrectly spelled.

Any other ideas?

The check View.CanUseTemporaryVisibilityModes() might do the trick.

IEnumerable<View> views = new FilteredElementCollector(doc)
				.OfClass(typeof(View))
				.Cast<View>()
				.Where(v=>v.CanUseTemporaryVisibilityModes());
