Remove Warning/message Duplicate Types

[Anonymous]

Hi

I am copying Objects from a linked Model, but I got a lot of "warnings" about Duplicate Types, I want to suppress this message.

I have tryied the legendary "WarningSwallower" from Mr, J. Tammik, but the "Duplicate Types" message is not a Warning.

How do I remove this message ?

Regards

Anders

Hi @Anonymous ,

Simple set the copy options to ignore such warning messages

CopyPasteOptions options = new CopyPasteOptions();
Options.SetDuplicateTypeNamesHandler(new MyCopyHandler());

The class MyCopyHandler is an implementation of the IDuplicateTypeNamesHandler

public MyCopyHandler : IDuplicateTypeNamesHandler
{
   public DuplicateTypeAction OnDuplicateTypeNamesFound()
   {
      return DuplicateTypeAction.UseDestinationTypes;
   }
}

I hope this helps.

If this helped solve your problem please mark it as solution, so other users can get this solutions as well

I just had this issue, and then realized I wasn't connecting the options in the copy command. Silly mistake, but easy to make if you already have your copy working. So, after you make the options, be sure that you're using them. 

CopyPasteOptions options = new CopyPasteOptions();
Options.SetDuplicateTypeNamesHandler(new MyCopyHandler());

ElementTransformUtils.CopyElements(source, elemIds, destination, transform, options);
