Modify Section and Callout

[strsuraj]

Hi,

I am trying to modify the rectangular box - scopeBox of a section and also callout. Using the below code I was able to modify "Far Clip Offset" of Section. (marked in yellow)

Parameter vFarclip = currentView.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.VIEWER_BOUND_OFFSET_FAR);
                                    vFarclip.SetValueString("2500");

Please find the image.

But the other 2 edges Right side and Left side (marked in Red), I was not able to access.

Same for the callout.

Can anybody guide on how to access these properties for Callout and Section .

Thanks

The Building Coder has shared a whole bunch of discussions and samples on creating and setting up section views:

They ought to cover all you need.

Thanks @jeremytammik for pointing the right place.

I have done this change but couldn't really succeed.

currentView = viewElement as Autodesk.Revit.DB.View;
if (currentView.Name == viewName)
{
   // my current sectionBox
   BoundingBoxXYZ sectionBox= currentView.get_BoundingBox(currentView);

   // updating max and min points for the current sectionBox
   sectionBox.Max = new XYZ(100,100,0);
   sectionBox.Min = new XYZ(0,0,0);

   Transform oTrans = Transform.Identity;
   XYZ oMidPt = 0.5 * (sectionBox.Max + sectionBox.Min);
   oTrans.Origin = oMidPt;
   XYZ oDirZ = sectionBox.Transform.BasisZ;
   XYZ oDirX = sectionBox.Transform.BasisX;
   XYZ oDirY = sectionBox.Transform.BasisY;
   oTrans.BasisX = oDirX;
   oTrans.BasisY = oDirY;
   oTrans.BasisZ = oDirZ;
   sectionBox.Transform = oTrans;
}

Basically I am trying to update the max and min value of current section box and keeping the origin, Basis X Y and Z similar. And finally transforming the section box with these values. Is my approach wrong ?

Thanks.
