Setting Mullion Type

[Anonymous]

I am trying to set a Mullion's MullionType using the Mullion.MullionType property. However I am getting the following error and I tried with every MullionType in the project. The only exception mentioned in the api docs has to do with if the mullion is locked, but i unlocked mine. Is this a bug or is there another way to set this property?

Thanks

you can set the mulliontype in the way use use.

However for inner mullions is the choice restricted in the UI, you can't choose corner-mullions.

I suspect your code throws an error because you try to assign a corner-mullion to an inner-mullion.

Valid mulliontypes for a mullion can be found in mullion.GetValidTypes();

Dear adelira,

Please make sure the mullion type you want to assign is in Mullion.GetValidTypes() as FAIR59 mentioned above.

It seems that if you want to change the mullion type of the outer mullion, there will be an exception, I can reproduce here.

I am communicating with the engineer team, will keep you updated.

Thanks for you patience and cooperation

Being able to modify the mullion types will improve multiple commands used by our drafting team and will save time and reduce risk of errors.

Has there been any progress made on this?

Thank you again, I appreciate the help.

Got this to work.

Instead of using the MullionType property I just used the Symbol property. Granted the mullion first needs to be unpinned. Something along the lines of this.

if(mullion.Pinned)

{

    mullion.Pinned = false;

    mullion.Symbol = AnotherMullionSymbol;

}
