Add Selection Filters to views

[Steven]

Hello all,

I am trying to add a Selection Filter to a list of views. When I pass a Parameter Filter to View.SetFilterOverrides everything works great. If I change nothing but give it a single Selection Filter it gives me this “Warning: One or more of the input types are not matching. Couldn’t find a version of SetFilterOverrides that takes arguments of type (__array,__array,__array,__array)”

Do any of you know anything about this or know a work around?

Thanks,

It seems this node doesn’t appear to accept SelectionFilterElements anyway:

API Docs show they are two separate classes, but both fall under FilterElement Class:

ParameterFilterElement Class
SelectionFilterElement Class

Should be able to do it with a Python script using the SetFilterOverrides Method, or maybe there is a package out there that has a node for this already that I’m unaware of

@awilliams is correct that this node doesn’t accept Selection Filters. I posted a request to GitHub so that the devs are aware of your wish:

Issue: add support for selection filters to view.setfilteroverrides

Cheers!

Please

hello @baud.dem
When you create a Selection-Based Filter this automatically creates a filter

Work with Selection-Based Filters

then, there is an example to Add a Selection-Based Filter to a view Template

Copy Selection filter to all view template

Salut Thomas Try this (in Python) import clr clr.AddReference('ProtoGeometry') from Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry import * #import Revit API clr.AddReference('RevitAPI') import Autodesk from Autodesk.Revit.DB import * #import transactionManager and DocumentManager (RevitServices is specific to Dynamo) clr.AddReference('RevitServices') import RevitServices from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager #Get Important vars doc …

Your code works very fine danke. I was also working on a code but it has a color issue that I couldn’t yet solve. Good idea to use the templates ! Bravo.

We agree that it doesnt work for a view without template ?
