Remove from Revit basics - BHoM/Revit_Toolkit GitHub Wiki

Introduction

Removing elements from Revit to BHoM works very similar to [pulling], with the difference that the Revit elements get removed instead of extracted and converted to BHoM. In order to perform Remove action, the adapter needs to be set up correctly first. Once this is done, the user needs to specify two basic Remove inputs:

• Request (which Revit elements are meant to be removed?)
• Action config (settings of this particular action - optional, if not specified, default values are used)

Once the adapter and inputs are ready, the Remove action needs to be activated - in visual programming environment this is done by setting its active property to true.

Request

Requests are listed and explained in requests and filtering section.

Action config

Remove action config is represented by RevitRemoveConfig and allows to specify the following settings:

• SuppressFailureMessages - if true, Revit warnings are suppressed in order not to interrupt the removal procedure (default is false)
• IncludeClosedWorksets - if true, Revit elements from closed worksets will be removed (default is false)
• RemovePinned - if true, pinned Revit elements will be removed (default is false)

If RevitRemoveConfig is left empty, default values will be used.

Details

Code mechanics of the Remove adapter action is explained in Remove from Revit details section.
