Macro to Set Underlay level to none
The way Revit sets the Underlay level of a new Floor Plan view is not of great help for those who work with a high amount of views. Configuring view by view the Underlay parameter to none is a repetitive task that brings no additional value and it consumes too much time.Unfortunately, Revit does not ease up the things, and a batch modify option of the viesws doesn’t exist for the “out of the box” Revit. So the only way that I found to fix my issue was recurring to the Macros.
I share this code snippet and hope that it will be useful for you guys:
public void SetUnderlayViewNone() { UIDocument uidoc = this.ActiveUIDocument; Document doc = this.ActiveUIDocument.Document; FilteredElementCollector filteredviews = new FilteredElementCollector(doc) .OfCategory(BuiltInCategory.OST_Views); using (Transaction t = new Transaction(doc, "Set Underlay None")) { t.Start(); foreach (Element e in filteredviews) { View myviewplan = e as View; string viewName = myviewplan.Name; Parameter underlyParam = myviewplan.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.VIEW_UNDERLAY_ID); if (underlyParam != null) { ElementId id = new ElementId( -1 ); underlyParam.Set(id); } } t.Commit(); } }
This code affects the entire model so be careful with what you are doing.
