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! Surprised this does not have more support yet! Additionally, it would be fantastic to have access to assigning Design Options within Revit Links. I found a workaround using the API associated with the "Visible in Option" view parameter for Design Options in the Current Project, but mass assigning Design Options in Revit Links can only be done manually or with View Templates.
