This error was caused by me:

NukePipeline.yml: All jobs have failed: ArgumentException: The repository already contains a Release with the tag: 2022.0.2.5

I edited readme directly in the master branch.

Apparently, that causes a new release to be generated, but the release is already present.

I guess I can solve it by updating the release number in the dev branch.

Maybe I should try that to fix the error.

This is just trial and error, though, fishing in the dark...

`private void Getinfo_Room(Room room)
{
string message = "Room: ";

//get the name of the room

XYZ point = location.Point;
message += "\nRoom position: " + XYZToString(point);

//get the room number

IList<IList<Autodesk.Revit.DB.BoundarySegment>> segments = room.GetBoundarySegments(new SpatialElementBoundaryOptions());

    foreach (IList<Autodesk.Revit.DB.BoundarySegment> segmentList in segments)
    {
        message += "\nBoundarySegment of the room: ";
        foreach (Autodesk.Revit.DB.BoundarySegment boundarySegment in segmentList)
        {
            // Get curve start point
            XYZ start = boundarySegment.GetCurve().GetEndPoint(0);
            message += "\nCurve start point: " + XYZToString(start);

            // Show the boundary elements
            message += "\nBoundary element id: " + boundarySegment.ElementId.IntegerValue;
        }
    }
}

TaskDialog.Show("Revit",message);

}

// output the point's three coordinates
string XYZToString(XYZ point)
{
return "(" + point.X + ", " + point.Y + ", " + point.Z + ")";
}
`

This is sample code. But I want to get the real world position. I have set the real north in REVIT 2018.
So, what should I do in my code?

Spot dimension position and text position is error in RevitLookup 2017.0.0.8

but It is okey in Revit 2015

I am sorry to say the Error. When I was running LookUP with SpotDimension, I got the message:

Can't set/get leader position for one of these cases:

1. SpotElevation.
2. When using equality formula.
3. When dimension style is ordinate.

I think The leader position of spot dimension is error. text position of spot dimension is also error.

The method ScheduleDefinition.GetField does not show because it requires an integer index parameter. A list of ScheduleFields can be returned, named by the index that was used.

I have this working and can submit a pull request. I have an issue though, in that there are two GetField methods, the other taking in an id. I have not found a way to filter out the second method, so when viewing the ScheduleDefinition properties there will be two GetField entries. If you know of a way to filter out that second method you can let me know or you could add it. Otherwise it could be left as is or put on hold.

It is trying to grab the version number from AssemblyInfo.cs.

Can it access it now, somewhere?

Hi Jeremy,

I just wanted to share a quick idea with you, which I believe could be a great contribution to your already amazing add-in RevitLookup.

Currently, RevitLookup is the only tool and procedure that I know of that allows me to delete shared parameter guids from a project. I simply locate the stored guids through RevitLookUp and manually copy the ID into a notepad file. However, as I am certain you are well aware of, Revit frustratingly stores the inital shared parameter definition when a family is loaded into a project. In other words, if shared parameter "A" is placed in the dimensions category within the family and loaded into the project, Revit will not register any change to this parameter if reloaded. Such change could be moving the parameter to a different category.

Thankfully, through LookUp this fixed definition can be deleted.

The idea I have is to add a feature, allowing to bulk extract IDs from LookUp. Do you think that would be a difficult feature to add?

Kind regards,

Kasper Miller

The MSI installer contains a bunch of unnecessary "fluff". Just one example is that it ends up creating a spurious folder '%AppData%\Autodesk\revit\Addins\2014'.

Given that this add-in comprises just 2 files and that the target folder is always the same, I built a much more streamlined one which I'm happy to share with you: https://1drv.ms/u/s!ArqlqZQvQnGihpkT9yDhfippM8_Krw

When examining Fabrication Parts, specifically Fabrication piping, in the Revit Lookup tool a crash will occur when the Method "GetMEPConnectorInfo" for a Connector is clicked. This happens for me, our Fabrication Database manager as well as our BIM/VC Director.

Dear @jeremytammik and @Nice3point
Can we add this spreadsheet view, I am working with MEP and I hope they are added to the Revit lookup
I see a link in here, maybe it is not obtained in the usual way : https://adndevblog.typepad.com/aec/2015/05/reading-ashrae-table-information-from-elements.html

As @peterhirn wrote #101 (comment), we need to decide whether to fix the build on gitlab or remove it altogether, leaving only github.

When I dowloaded and moved the .addin to the addin folder, Revit Dialog Box showed up saying"
".

Recently I installed Revit Lookup, there are two questions.

1. After clicking the lookup button, there will be some options starting with Snoop. What do these snoop stand for? Is there an official document?
   

2. 2. After clicking these buttons, a large amount of information is given in the form of a structured list. Some of this information is relatively easy to understand but someone is difficult to understand. Is there a complete explanation to tell the user the meaning of each information?

Not the best but I love to see an icon on the Revit Lookup button. Maybe:

RLicon.zip

cf. the IncludeNonVisibleObjects property: https://www.revitapidocs.com/2022/0d277b80-d5e5-1151-d413-b0899da0976f.htm

Hi @jeremytammik,
while not able to code it myself, especially not in C#,
a nice feature would be to get the windows of the tool in modelless mode. Allowing us to interact with the model directly.
Cheers

The current readme sections on Installation, Builds and RevitLookup.Installation are obsolete, and the new build and installer are undocumented.

Clicking on GetNonControlledTemplateParametersIds in the UI throws this error:

Which after continuing in the debugger, immediately crashes Revit. :)

Snoop LinearArray，How To Get The Array is "Append To End" or not ?

I tried snooping a selected Structual Rebar element in the active view and found not all of the Rebar Class members showed up in the Snoop Objects window. One of many members that weren't there: Rebar.GetFulGeometryForView method.
Is this the supposed behaviour for Revit Lookup? I was thinking I could get all object members with Revit Lookup and without RevitAPI.chm file.

In a view (whether its a view template or not), I click on GetTemplateParameterIds, following error is thrown:

Latest build is 2020.0.0.3: https://lookupbuilds.com/index.html?prefix=releases/

Dear JeremyTammik,
I recently came across some important updates in this source code, but they are still persisting this bug on the recent new version, please take a look.

Video demo error :

hi Roman @Nice3point ! Happy New Year to you! Thank you for the new release 2022.0.3.2! I notice that it requires me to install an updated .NET SDK 6.0: It reports error NETSDK1045: The current .NET SDK does not support targeting .NET 6.0; Either target .NET 5.0 or lower, or use a version of the .NET SDK that supports .NET 6.0. I am installing the 6.0 SDK. Maybe this build requirement ought to be mentioned in the readme? In the past, I stuck with a very old version of VS and the SDK, bordering on obsolete, to make sure that absolutely everybody else was more up-to-date than me. Now, we are forcing developers to update their VS and .NET more promptly... I suggest documenting that.

I would also suggest adding you to the Authors section, since you are currently the main maintaining author, and I am doing next to nothing at all.

What do you think?

I have a little request. Could you please change all forms startposition to "CenterParent". I must change that everytime I download a new build. When working with 2 screens, revitlookup manages to show it's dialogs on the wrong screen (or half outside the screen).

Hi Jeremy,

I see that the multi-version configurations that I submitted to RevitLookup were undone by a recent submission. I'd be happy to build a new multi-version installer for Revit 2016-2022 (or whatever versions people would like), but I'm not sure how you'd like the solution configured to do this. Could you let me know?

Thanks
Harry

Hi;
I couldn´t find the latest version .msi installer, instead, I have found the version installer for revit 2021.

Am I doing something wrong or maybe from version 2022 the installation process changes?

Thanks for all

Hello,
I've noticed that there are parameters that get duplicated, especially when using the Snoop Active View tool. Then clicking on < ParameterSet>. It also happens with some of the parameters in elements as well. I have the same problem in a couple of my addins after recompiling in 2016 and not sure what's causing it. Thanks.

@jeremytammik in the past the addin had a post build event which is not there in the current release for 2017. It does not need to be there but was nice have.

Hello! I just started noticing that Revit is prompting about unsigned certificate for this add-in (all Revit versions 2018-2021). Checked the dll for the latest release and it appears the cert may have expired this month.

Hi Jeremy,
Upon building the solution file, I found 7 errors. Any hint as to how to solve this issue?

Dear @jeremytammik and @Nice3point
I thinked about this, whether we have any way to improve that when see some duplicate parameter like this ?
Should we make a small improvement so that users can quickly tell the exact difference between them?

Kind Regard !

It would be nice if for example the following properties would be shown of a ViewSchedule:
Which SchedulableFields are applied
What the Definition looks like

Hi, there is unused code and windows in the application.


When opening Revit, there is a subscription to events if the subscription is already subscribed. This condition will never be met.

if (EventsForm.DocEvents.AreEventsEnabled) EventsForm.DocEvents.EnableEvents(args.Document);

If this code is already deprecated, I could remove it. This is still a database exploration add-in, not an example of event usage in Revit.

There are also empty files that do not contain anything. for example HostApplication.cs

The method ViewCropRegionShapeManager.GetSplitRegionOffset was added in 2021. This returns an XYZ but requires an integer index parameter. A list of XYZs can be returned, named by the index that was used.

I have this working and can submit a pull request.

Hi, Jeremy.
For this version of Lookup Revit 2017.2 has exception during start up with System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException. Please, look at screenshot attached below:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/agu3sfo748ucwlw/LookUpProblems.png?dl=0
I have version of Lookup from date 31.01.2017 and there are all working good.

UPD. On another PC all working good. I apologize, I will think.

@jeremytammik can you create a new 'develop' branch? The idea is this: accept pull requests only in this branch, test new functions, and if everything is fine, merge with the main 'master'. I would also disable the creation of an installer for this branch, leaving only compilation. This will keep the 'master' branch always in the correct state

Good Morning-

Recently at my organization there was a request by an end user to use the Revit Lookup add-in. During testing, we noticed that the default installation directory for the add-in is the active users roaming directory (C:\Users%username%\AppData\Roaming\Addins\Revit\Addins%YEAR%\RevitLookUp/Revitlookup.dll) at the time of installation.

From an application management perspective, this makes it challenging to streamline upgrades/add-in removals as the active user at the time of installation needs to be logged into the workstation and the fact that the add-in doesn't install across user accounts on the workstation.

As a result of the installation directory changing, the LOCAL SYSTEM account (used by many centrally managed application solutions) can no longer handle the installation/uninstallation of the add-in without the end user being logged into the machine. In the past, the add-in installed in the Program Data directory (C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2019\RevitLookup.dll) which appears to have allowed for 'Machine-wide installation'.

We would like to have the option to deploy the add-in to all Revit users in the future. However, without a machine-wide installation option are hesitant to do so. As a suggestion, you may want to give end users the option to install the MSI a machine-wide context as well as the current per-user context.

Hi all,

I tried to install RevitLookup for Revit 2022 using 'Revit Lookup.msi' which within the RevitLookup-2022.0.0.15.zip file. The addin will appear in earlier Revit versions, but not in 2022, it will not create the .dll and .addin files in the appropriate folder.
Does anyone have any idea why the two files are not installed in the correct folder?
Or where can I find these two files inside the zip?

Thank you for your help,
Máté

I was snooping the current document in Revit 2019, and when I clicked on the "PrintManager" field it sent my document to the printer.

Hey Jeremy!

I created a simple Installation using Inno Setup to extract the files on the ApplicationPlugins folder.

Here is the project: RevitLookup.Installation

And the last Executable Signed: RevitLookup.2022.0.0.14 with the version 2017 to 2022.

I hope this helps the community!

See ya!

Hi Jeremy, I've installed 2020's +thumbs up+ but running the 2022 Revit Lookup-SetupFiles > Revit Lookup.msi installer isn't adding lookup to 2022. Any thoughts?

hi @jeremytammik and @Nice3point and @NeVeSpl
I tried the installer as per readme instructions and noticed it worked well except the modeless mode is available only in revit 2022 after installation.
I cannot find if it is expected or an issue:

• is my install messed up?
• is the modelless mode implemented only in 2022?
• is it due to compilation of the wrong code by the git actions or the installer?

Hi
I would like to propose adding some kind of system to show StorageType and Types.
Best regards
Michail

Dear @Nice3point,
I see a problem in here with ParameterBindings. May be is an issue.

Some Code Sample :

 BindingMap bindingMap = DB.Doc.ParameterBindings;
DefinitionBindingMapIterator iterator = bindingMap.ForwardIterator();
            while (iterator.MoveNext())
            {
                Definition def = iterator.Key;
                //TODO SOME THING
            }
