Goemetry change updater not firing for Elements of Type Topography

[grahamcook]

Hi

I have found that adding an Update Trigger with change type Element.GetChangeTypeGeometry() to a Topography element does not fire when it's geometry is changed.  A workaround is to use Element.GetChangeTypeAny() buts that's not really an option in this case as it causes the updater to fire to many times.  Surely adding points to a Topography or changing the boundary of a Site Region constitutes a Geometry Change?

Dear Graham,

Yes, indeed.

I have heard of similar issues before.

Please submit a complete minimal reproducible case that I can pass on to the development team for you:

Thank you!

Cheers,

Here's a Revit file with an embedded macro that illustrates the problem:

1. Open file.

2. Macro Manger.

3. Select and Run Macro SetUpdaterAny

4. Modify the topo points or the boundary of the Site Region Object (Element 300817)

5. Updater is firing on all cylinders

6. Macro Manager

7. Select and Run Macro SetUpdaterGeometry

8. Modify the topo points or the boundary of the Site Region Object

9. Updater not firing 😞

Attached mp4 shows those steps.
