Reload latest for a specific element

[hzamani]

G'day all!

Was wondering if there's a way to ReloadLatest only an specific element from the central file? 

We do have a ReloadLatestOptions which gets passed to ReloadLatest method but it unfortunately doesn't provide any customisation.

Cheers.

Dear Hoss,

Thank you for your query.

Can you achieve the desired result manually through the user interface?

Please be aware that the Revit API hardly ever supports any functionality that is not also available in the user interface.

Therefore, if the UI does not support this, the API will probably not do so either.

So, it will always help to research the optimal manual approach to a solution first, before attacking the task programmatically.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,

Jeremy

Thanks Jeremy for the input.

It's surely not doable through the UI but would be great to do programmatically.

It'd be a useful feature specially for working with Extensible Storage when we want the latest state of a DataStorage element without having to impose a heavy lift of reloading the latest state of every element in the model. 

Cheers.

Dear Hoss,

That makes perfect sense to me.

In that case, I would suggest raising a wish list item for it in the Revit Idea Station.

Best regards,

Jeremy
