Worksets - Visible in Views

Revit
1

Hi All,

So I’ve created a series of worksets through Dynamo from my spreadsheet, however is there no way of setting the default to hide/show in all views? I can’t seem to find any nodes which control this. - Or can element parameters be used!?

I’m aiming for a simple list.filter to filter those worksets with a show/hide value in excel before assigning the parameter value to the workset.

Thanks,
Dan

I don’t think its possible.

Edit: Try the IsVisibleByDefault option. It might just do what you need. It looks like 2 years ago I wasn’t fully aware of what that did.

Is that still the case?

I edited my original answer. Give that a try.

For anyone still looking for the answer to this:

# Load Python Standard and DesignScript Libraries
import sys
import clr

# Add Assemblies for Revit API
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
clr.AddReference('RevitServices')

# Import necessary classes from Revit API
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *

# Import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager

# Set the current document
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument

# Use the FilteredWorksetCollector to get the worksets
worksets = FilteredWorksetCollector(doc).OfKind(WorksetKind.UserWorkset)

# Prepare empty lists for workset names and visibility status
workset_names = []
workset_visibility = []

# Get the names of all worksets and their visibility status
for workset in worksets:
    workset_names.append(workset.Name)
    workset_visibility.append(workset.IsVisibleByDefault)

# Assign your output to the OUT variable
OUT = workset_names, workset_visibility

So it seems to be possible to access the values of the “Visible in all views” parameter, but is it possible to change the value of that parameter using dynamo or python? It’d be a shame if that was read-only.
