Design Options API

Design Options API

Hello, I'd love to suggest and ask for the support from the community to provide an API for Design Options.  There is SO MUCH that can be done with Design Options from the development community to help make the usage easier for designers and open up doors to leverage Revit more and more in early design phases, for example, Interior Test Fits.  I'd suggest the following initial functionality:

 

  • Create / Delete New Option Set
  • Create / Delete Option within Option Set
  • Rename Option Set
  • Rename Option
  • Switch Active Design Option in Active Design Option Dropdown
  • Set Primary Option with Option Set
  • Set Design Option for each option set in the Design Options Tab of Visibility/Graphic Overrides
  • Add and Remove objects from Design Options

Would love for other members of the community to chime in on other major areas this could be exposed in the API.

+1 -- I can't believe this hasn't been made available yet!

It would be great if the command to 'finish editing' (switch back to Main Model) was available for keyboard shortcut assignment - Pick to Edit is fantastic, but still need to go into the menu or dialog to get back to Main Model.

+1 -- How can such a critical feature still be missing?!

In addition to Josh's excellent list, also need the ability to read Design Options applied to views.

This is why people use open-source software: simple, basic features going unimplemented for 5 years.

It's been longer than 5 years.  I've been asking for this since 2009.  I think it's safe to say this request isn't happening.

Bumping this again!  So much opportunity here and quite a bit of community support over the last few years.  Sorely need an API here.

I would love at least the functionality to

 

- switch primary

- accept primary

Bump for one of the top voted wishlist items.
