Revit - C# - How to activate viewport programmatically?

[Maltezc]

Hi all, I'm curious to see if anyone has come up with a way of programmatically activating a viewport that exists on a sheet yet? I've been searching for a way for about a year now but haven't had any luck.

The closest thing I've gotten so far is uidoc.showElements(viewport) but that doesn't quite cut it.

Has anyone else come up with a way yet?

Hey,

I'm curious too. What for?

Do you mean that you want to work on the associated View? If so, there is a property called OwnerViewId which allows you to find the Owner, on which you can make modifications.

You can also find the Viewports of the view using View.GetAllViewports().

This should work.

Viewport viewport = Viewport.Create(Service.Document, viewSheet.Id, newView.Id, origin);

Service.UIDocument.Selection.SetElementIds(new List<ElementId> { viewport.Id });

RevitCommandId commandId = RevitCommandId.LookupPostableCommandId(PostableCommand.ActivateView);
Service.UIApplication.PostCommand(commandId);
