Linked Files > graphic override [worksets]

[Joris.vd.Meulen]

Hi guys, 

A longshot since I've read a number of topics regarding this matter.

In a view: can we override the linked files' active workset?

So in normal revit I would:

- active view

- VG (Visibily/Graphic Overrides)

- tab Revit Links

- select specific instance

- click under display Settings: "Custom"

- choose "Overide display settings for this instance"

- tab Worksets choose check the workset(s) I want.

Step and repeat for all Linked File Instances.

Dear Joris,

Thank you for your query.

In theory, you can use PostCommand to launch the VG user interface form and then perform all the steps you list through the native Windows API.

That would be rather tricky and hacky, of course.

I am checking for you with the development team whether the Revit API provides any official access to this functionality.

Best regards,

Jeremy

I am sorry to report that according to the development team, there is currently no API access to changing which linked worksets are visible in a view.

You might want to submit a wish list item for that functionality in the Revit Idea Station.

Thanks for the follow up @jeremytammik., much appreciated.

I will wishlist it.
