How to let revit show a rectangle when picking points

[Anonymous]

When I have picked a Point (using Selection. PickPoint) on the view, and then moving the mouse.

Can revit provide a functionality to show a rectangle according to the picked point and the current mouse postion?Just like when we creating a wall.

Dear Gb1982,

Before I add another word, let me ask you whether you have installed the Revit SDK and have convenient access to the Revit API help file RevitAPI.chm, e.g. via a desktop shortcut.

Have you looked in there?

Do you see the PickPoint method?

If you look for other picking methods, you will also note PickBox, which "invokes a general purpose two-click editor that lets the user to specify a rectangular area on the screen."

That is what the Revit API can offer you.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,

Jeremy
