Autodesk.Revit.DB.PhaseFilter

The Autodesk.Revit.DB.PhaseFilter class represents a filter that allows the selection of elements based on their phase status. This class is part of the Revit API, which is a programming interface for developing add-ins and custom applications for the Revit software.

Properties

The Autodesk.Revit.DB.PhaseFilter class has the following properties:

• ObjectSnapSettings - Gets or sets the object snap settings for the phase filter.
• PhaseStatus - Gets or sets the phase status of the elements to be filtered.

Methods

The Autodesk.Revit.DB.PhaseFilter class has the following methods:

• Equals(Object) - Indicates whether the current phase filter is equal to another object.
• GetHashCode() - Returns the hash code for the current phase filter.
• GetType() - Gets the Type of the current instance.
• IsInView(UIView) - Indicates whether the phase filter is visible in the specified view.
• ToString() - Returns a string that represents the current phase filter.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to create a phase filter that selects all elements with the New Construction phase status:

// Create a new phase filter
PhaseFilter filter = new PhaseFilter();

// Set the phase status to New Construction
filter.PhaseStatus = PhaseStatus.NewConstruction;

// Use the phase filter to select elements
UIDocument uiDoc = commandData.Application.ActiveUIDocument;
Selection sel = uiDoc.Selection;
IEnumerable<Element> selectedElements = sel.PickElementsByRectangle(filter);

In this example, a new PhaseFilter object is created, and the PhaseStatus property is set to PhaseStatus.NewConstruction. The PickElementsByRectangle method is then called on the selection object, using the phase filter as a parameter to select all elements with the New Construction phase status.

Conclusion

The Autodesk.Revit.DB.PhaseFilter class is a useful tool for selecting elements based on their phase status in Revit. With its properties and methods, it allows developers to create custom filters that can be used in add-ins and applications to streamline workflows and increase productivity.
