Cannot find View.SetFilterVisibility node

[Kevin4]

Hello all,

I am struggling to find the “View.SetFilterVisibility” node. I am seeing it exists in related posts (see below). But these unfortunately doesn’t help me in finding the node in dynamo.

Has it been removed? I am working in Dynamo Revit 3.3.0.6523. If it has been removed, how do we toggle the visibility of view filters now?

Can't find View.SetFilterVisibility node

Hi all, I am working on filters with Dynamo, different topics I have helped me a lot ! I am using Dynamo 2.0 or 1.3 sometimes to look for old nodes. But I need the View.SetFilterVisibility() node and can’t find it. I have seen it exists but I can’t find it in my archi-lab package or in the others. Do you have any idea ?? Thank you very much Baudouin

View.AddFilter and View.SetFilterVisibility Comments

I am having trouble adding a view filter to views and turning the visibility off. I have a list of view filters (in watch node below) and a list of views that I want to apply only one filter parameter to. ie parameter.filter[0] is applied to view[0]. parameter.filter[1] is applied to view[1] etc. When I use the View.AddFilter node from the archi-lab Grimshaw package by @Konrad_K_Sobon it applies all the view filters to every view, where as I only want a single view filter added. When I use th…

Archi-Lab package if my memory and those posts are correct.

I have the Archi-lab package installed, but the View.SetFilterVisibility node doesnt seem to be included in there.

I did find Views.SetFilterOverrides, but it does not seem to behave like I was hoping.
Attached are my inputs to the nodes and the resulting view filters.

So, what are your trying to set / control?

Doesn’t these do what you want?

OR

Hi @Kevin4 maybe this could work for you

test view filters.dyn (4.8 KB)

I am trying to toggle the filter Visibility state. Both those nodes look like they should be able to do what I want, but they simply dont seem to trigger the desired effect.

[Kevin4]

Hello, the node you shared is almost exactly right. It is triggering the “Enable Filter” function of the desired filter instead of the “Visibility” function.

[bvs1982]

I guess you have to use @sovitek Python solution then.

[Kevin4]

Excuse me, I accidently replied to bvs1982. please see my response to your python node above!

[sovitek]

allright then try as here and see if it better

import clr
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *

clr.AddReference("RevitNodes")
import Revit
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.Elements)

clr.AddReference("RevitServices")
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager

doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
view = UnwrapElement(IN[0])
filter = UnwrapElement(IN[1])
boolean = IN[2]
result = []
viewlist = []

TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)

try:
	for i in view:
		viewlist.append(i.SetFilterVisibility(filter.Id, boolean))
		result.append(True)
except:
	result.append(False)
TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()

OUT = (view,result)

The new script doesnt seem to do anything to the filter as far as I can see.

[sovitek]

arhhh my bad maybe here

import clr

clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *

clr.AddReference("RevitServices")
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager

doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument

views = IN[0] if isinstance(IN[0], list) else [IN[0]]
view_filter = UnwrapElement(IN[1])
state = IN[2]

results = []

TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)

for v in views:
    view = UnwrapElement(v)
    try:
        f_id = view_filter.Id
        if not view.IsFilterApplied(f_id):
            view.AddFilter(f_id)
        view.SetFilterVisibility(f_id, state)
        results.append(True)
    except:
        results.append(False)

TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()

OUT = (views)

Yes! It works perfectly!
I dont think this node is able to handle lists, but i’ll manage without that.
Thank you very much for the help!

[bvs1982]

@Kevin4

I dont think this node is able to handle lists

Probably.

[sovitek]

havent tried but it could handle list as well as i tried with views…hard coded in the code, or create a costum dyf so we have option for lacing…i guess

[sovitek]

or just use OOTB

[Kevin4]

View.SetFilterOverrides was my first instinct to use but I could not get it to work for me unfortunatly.
