How to extract geometry??

[Anonymous]

I had extracted geometries from Revit as below. I used some codes form Online documents.

I collected geometries with the filter like...

            FilteredElementCollector collector = new FilteredElementCollector(commandData.Application.ActiveUIDocument.Document);
            ICollection<Element> collection = collector.OfClass(typeof(HostObject)).ToElements();

Then, how can I collect all visible geometries???

I guess the solution is configuring filter well. But, it is not easy for me.

If any of you have some tips for me, please help me.

Thank you.

In my opinion, based on what you describe your best option is to use Custom Exporter. It is part of a new API in Revit 2014. It allows exporting all currently visible geometry in a given 3D view. (It only works with 3D views!)
