Subcategory Visiblity in View Templates

[Chad_Clary]

I ran across an older post on SixtySecondRevit about hiding sub categories and am trying to fumble through something similar but am stuck on how to push the visibility into a view / view template. I’ve gotten the view templates isolated and can pull my sub category but I’m not seeing anything that will let me actually set a visibility anywhere. The video is using some Python to achieve the change but since it’s a year old I’m wondering if python is still needed or if there are some nodes I need to find.

The Graph so far:

@Chad_Clary Yes this can be done without Python View Templates are treated the same as Views, so the View.SetCategoryOverrides node will work with View Template inputs.

Thanks.

I’ve got things mostly working but have a question - with the View.SetCategoryOverrides node can I combine categories into a list or do I have to have a node for each category/subcategory that I want to modify? Creating a list doesn’t seem to work.

@Chad_Clary the View.SetCategoryOverrides node should handle a list of categories if you set the Lacing to Cross Product.

That did the trick. One of these days I’ll actually remember to check the lacing…

Thanks!

No problem! I forget about lacing sometimes too
