Phase Graphic Overrides

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I'm trying to access the settings for Phasing > Graphic Overrides via API.  Something tells me it can't be done.  Am I wrong? Thanks.

Hi Michael,

I checked a couple of older posts regarding this. Could something like setting the phase of a view help you with what you are trying to do.

Here is a post from Jeremy Tammik in regards to that.

Check it out and let me know.

Cheers,

Hi. Thanks, but I'm not trying to set the phase of the view.  I'm trying to change the phasing graphic overrides.  The first tab of Phasing can be accessed through the Phase class (although very little can be done), the second tab can be accessed through the PhaseFilter class.  I'm trying to get to the settings in the third tab. Thanks.

Hi Michael,

I see, I checked if this is accessible through the API and I have found that unfortunately it is not at the moment. There is an enhancement request already in our system to be consider and get it available in a future release of the software. Here is the record number so you can ask for update in the future.

CF-3036: As an API developer, I would like access to PhasingOverrides and its connection to OverrideGraphicsSettings.

Thanks for your collaboration.

Hi,

Jaimie,

Was this wish granted in Revit 2016/2017? I would like to get access to Phase Filter overrides as well. 

Thanks!

Hi Konrad,

I checked with the development team and unfortunatley, this wish/enhancement did not make it to Revit 2017. To raise priority on this enhancement I will need a couple of things from you. Please connect with me over email so I can obtain the information I need  from you to add it to the wish. 

Once again, I apologize if this is delaying you moving forward in your development. 

Email me to jaime.rosales.duque@autodesk.com

Thanks,

I still would like this as well...

Hi Michael, 

Please follow instructions above, aka send me an email so I can obtain some info from you. 

Thanks and also thank you for your collaboration and patience.

Hey, any update or eta for CF-3036?

I am also curious if there are any updates to CF-3036

Bad news on the status of CF-3036 [As an API developer, I would like access to PhasingOverrides and its connection to OverrideGraphicsSettings], I'm afraid. No business case was ever submitted, no priority registered, no association to any wish list entry in the Revit Idea Station created. Hence, nothing ever happened with it.

I just assigned a priority to it and added a mention of your interest expressed here in this thread.

If you are interested in driving this functionality (or lack of it) forward, please do so via the Revit Idea Station.

Whenever you require new or enhanced functionality, the Revit Idea Station is the place to go.

Please search there for a corresponding wish list entry for the suggested functionality and add your comments to it, or create a new one, if none already exists:

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-ideas/idb-p/302

Tag it as an API wish:

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-ideas/idb-p/302/tab/most-recent/label-name/api

Ensure it gets as many votes as possible to underline its importance to you and the rest of the developer community.

The Revit Idea Station is currently one of the main driving input forces for Revit API enhancements.

The Revit development team look there. Your comment here in the discussion forum might be overlooked.

Thank you!

This question was first asked in 2015, it's 2023 now and now I need it. Is there any update on whether we might be seeing this in the future?

[jeremy_tammik]

Have you checked the roadmap and the idea station? Those are the go-to places for such a request.

[jeremy_tammik]

I asked the development team for a status update on the internal issue CF-3036...

Any update on accessing Phase graphics Overrides using Revit API?

Hi all and especially @jeremy_tammik :

We have run into a scenario that a client needs to get a copy of OverrideGraphicsSettings based on the 

ElementOnPhaseStatus, essentially a method signature of:

View.GetPhasingGraphicsOverride(ElementOnPhaseStatus)

EDIT:

I have found a solution to this (however, somewhat convoluted):

Snoop the Database for GraphicStyle elements that match the names of the ElementOnPhaseStatus - Existing, Demolished, New, Temporary - then inspect the GraphicsStyleCategory to get GraphicOverrides.

[jeremy_tammik]

Well done! Congratulations and thank you for sharing.

[Rui_Tang-Symetri_USA]

Additionally, @jeremy_tammik , the info accessible from there is limited, only Line Weight, Line Color, Material etc. are accessible but Pattern Foreground/Background Overrides and Halftones are not accessible. I even tried View.GetCategoryOverride(GraphicStyleCategory)/GetElementOverride(GraphicStyle) but the OverrideGraphicsSettings object returned contains incorrect values (seems default). So I wonder where we can correctly get the OverrideGraphicsSettings object in regards to different ElementOnPhaseStatus
.


Thank you.
