Order of views in browser

[Kevin.Bell]

Hi,

I'm writing an addon which displays views from the Project Browser.

This works, but I've realised my addon does not show the views in the correct order.

The project browser order is:

Floor Plans,

Ceiling Plans,

3D Views,

Elevations,

Legends

etc.

These I can obviously easily see, in Revit, but there are other views the user can create which I'm unsure of where they would go in the Browser.

I thought the viewtype enumeration gave the order:

https://www.revitapidocs.com/2015/bf04dabc-05a3-baf0-3564-f96c0bde3400.htm

But its not correct.

Anyone know where I can find the order of all types of Revit views?

Thanks.

Afaik, this is not exposed in the Revit API.

Therefore, I'm afraid your only choice will probably be to manually hardcode the order you observe in the Revit user interface.

I've wanted to be able to get this hierarchy as well for a long time.
