Revit

On all my views on sheet i want to get the hidden elements(section) but they won’t show unless the toggle button “Reveal Hidden Elements” is on.

Is there a way to set all views on sheet in “Reveal Hidden Elements” mode to get the hidden elements?

Or any other way?

thanks.

You can use the EnableRevealHiddenMode and DisableTemporaryViewMode methods to toggle the visibility off and on.

views = UnwrapElement(IN[0])

TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
for v in views:
    if hasattr(v, "EnableRevealHiddenMode"):
        try:
            v.EnableRevealHiddenMode()
        except:
            pass
TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()

OUT = views

off

Well done. Just to be safe, it’s probably a good idea to use a Wait/Passthrough node to make sure that you don’t toggle hidden elements back off until after they’ve been identified.
