ImageExport model coordinate

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I currently have a view with mutiple filled regions and I would like to compute their coordinate in the png once exported.

So, is there a way to get the image export coordinate of a view in the model space instead of the paper space (Outline property) ?

Any ideas?

Dear Romain,

Thank you for your query and sorry for the delay in replying.

I cannot comment on the final image export coordinate part of your question, but the UIView class provides a possibility to convert between Revit model and the Windows screen display coordinate systems:

I used that functionality to create my own Windows tooltip that queries properties of the Revit database elements at the current Windows cursor position:

Does that help?

Best regards,
