Richard, I tried to simplify what I posted but apparently I removed a little too much. I am trying to create a function that loops through existing assemblies in the Revit document and creates sheets, views, schedules, etc. and puts them on said sheet. I am having trouble with the portion that loops through to get the list of existing assemblies though, here is what I have so far:
[Autodesk.Revit.Attributes.Transaction(Autodesk.Revit.Attributes.TransactionMode.Manual)]
[Autodesk.Revit.DB.Macros.AddInId("ED37A463-3779-4448-AB0E-2CBBA6D354A6")]
public partial class ThisApplication
{
public void CreateAssemblyViewsAndSheet()
{
// Get current Revit Document ID
Document doc = this.ActiveUIDocument.Document;
// Get current Revit UIDocument ID
UIDocument uidoc = this.ActiveUIDocument;
try
{
///////////////////////////////
// Model-components selected //
///////////////////////////////
// Get selected element IDs
ICollection<ElementId> elementIds = uidoc.Selection.GetElementIds();
using (Transaction transaction = new Transaction(doc))
{
// Get IDs of selected elements
ElementId categoryId = doc.GetElement(elementIds.First()).Category.Id;
if( AssemblyInstance.IsValidNamingCategory(doc, categoryId, uidoc.Selection.GetElementIds()))
{
// Create NEW assembly of selected components
transaction.Start("Create Assembly Instance");
AssemblyInstance assemblyInstance = AssemblyInstance.Create(doc, uidoc.Selection.GetElementIds(), categoryId);
transaction.Commit(); // need to commit the transaction to complete the creation of the assembly instance so it can be accessed in the code below
// Set assembly name
if (transaction.GetStatus() == TransactionStatus.Committed)
{
transaction.Start("Set Assembly Name");
assemblyInstance.AssemblyTypeName = "New Assembly Name";
transaction.Commit();
}
/////////////////////////////////////////
// Create Sheet, Views, Schedules, etc //
/////////////////////////////////////////
createViews(doc, transaction, assemblyInstance);
}
}
}
catch //(Exception ex)
{
///////////////////////////////////
// Model-components NOT selected //

What am I missing here??
