To output a View from View3D

[Anonymous]

This code: 

__revit__.ActiveUIDocument.ActiveView

 Output:

<Autodesk.Revit.DB.View3D object at 0x00000000000001BF [Autodesk.Revit.DB.View3D]>

But I want the result of 'Autodesk.Revit.DB.View'....

I need your advice...! Thanks:)

View asview = __revit__.ActiveUIDocument.ActiveView as View

try something like the above. VIew3D class is inherited from View, so casting that to its parent class should be possible

Thank you for your reply..!!

But I'm using Python so I'm sorry I couldn't apply your reply...:(

If there's any way you can at Python, please answer again...!!

You question is a basic Python question. 

You are trying to convert from a derived class to its base class.

This is normally never necessary, since it happens automatically when needed.

If you really want to do it explicitly, search the Internet for 'upcast in python':
