Replacing a Revit command

[Kevin.Bell]

Hi,

I've created a new filter command in c#, this does exactly the same thing as the standard element filter button in Revit, plus a whole lot more.

I'm quite happy with the command.

I'm interested to know if its possible to replace the standard revit filter command with the new one I've created?

I've added my one to a ribbon in Revit, but the user has to look for it to use it, by replacing the standard filter command it would be easily accessibleI to all.

Is this possible?

Thanks.

excellent - thanks, I used that code to replace the selection filter with a new one of my own making...

... only one slight issue, I can replace the selection filter on the context toolbar, but I cant replace the selection filter which lives in the bottom right hand corner of the UI.

I can't find the ID of this button - and am thinking it doesn't have one as its not part of the ribbon.

Is this possible?

Thanks.
