Revit api RevitLink enable SetElementOverrides Halftone & Underlay Settings

Hello,

It seems you are able to control a RevitLink Visibility via View.HideElements and View.UnhideElements.

However when you try to use View.SetElementOverrides for a RevitLink. You are unable to set the Halftone, Underlay options. Even better would be if you could also control the RevitLink Display Settings.

 

Note that I am not refering there RevitLinkInstance Overides. Rather the unexpanded option below:

How can we access Revit Link Display Settings in Revit API.

For a long time Revit has let users set linked models to Display as Underlay per view, but this option isn’t available in the API.

I can set everything in the link to Halftone or transparent with overrides, but these aren’t the same thing as the Underlay setting. Underlay affects draw order and behavior, not just appearance.

 

Please expose the Revit Links Display as Underlay setting so it can be read and set per view through the API, without relying on view templates and while remaining user-editable in the view.
