Interactive Preview for Top View

Interactive Preview for Top View

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi, I am implementing a WPF window that I want to allow the users to select an element from Revit model, then a preview for only this element's top view would be shown to the user. However, I also want the user to interactively select the sides of the selected element from the top preview for further processing.

 

I can list the sides of the element's geometry programmatically by the API, but then the user won't be able to interactively identify a single side for further processing.

 

I appreciate your guidance to me by any online sample code or keywords to direct my search to achieve this functionality.

 

Thanks in advance

User interaction with a preview control is very limited:

How about creating a regular Revit view that displays nothing but the relevant elements, presenting that to the user, and making use of the standard Revit element selection functionality?

 

Merry Christmas to all!

 

Cheers,
