Realise command Split Element in Revi API

[gnab]

Hello, everyone. Could you tell me how to do something similar to the "Split Element" command in Revit API? I know that I need to use BreakCurve method to split an element (pipe, duct and etc.) but i want a user can previously set separating point with temporary object snap as with "Split Element" command.

For pipe:

For Duct:

For anything electrical you'll have to re-create these methods from scratch.

I know about this method. That's not the question. How to make a user can set break point himself visually on pipe curve, not programmatically?

You can either use PostCommand to launch the built-in Revit command with its entire standard user interface, in which case you cannot modify its behaviour, or you can implement your own programmatic approach, in which case you have to use the existing API methods and forget about the standard Revit UI functionality.

Understood, thanks for answer, Jeremy!
