How to pick point while on a form

[Anonymous]

I building an app that insert a few thing. First one choose what he want from a combobox then click on insert button.

What happend is the project browser and the properties dimmed and I could not come to the view to select. Sometime Revit carshed and no way only to stop the process from the activities manager. What I should do to make it work?

Hi @Anonymous,

From your descriptions I can only guess it's because Revit does not support for multi-threading which means that before you finish your current work, you can not do anything further.

The above is just my guess, if you can provide more details(your code or a reproducible sample file), we can know better of your problem.

There are methods to "hiding" the form which really just closes it but hangs onto the command and reopens it after selection is made, but it may be best to do the selection on Load (before form shows) or on Close when form is out of the way, but before you return your result to Revit.
