It won't let me alter every family's mark value if I can borrow it though. That makes it a bit harder to resolve while others are busy working.<br /><br />At-Risk...Revit doesn't deal with it at all so to speak. If you edit something at risk and someone else borrows the same element while you are at risk...say goodbye to your work. You won't be able to SWC.

Revit assigns every object a unique number (GUID, right?) when it is placed in the model. It doen't matter how many people are working in the model. Why not something similar for Mark Values?<br /><br />I guess to do this Revit must be constantly communiating with the central file behind the scenes. If that's the case, I imagine performance could be an issue.<br /><br />Which begs the question; If I check out some worksets and edit at risk (say, at home)how does Revit reconile THOSE numbers?

I understand exactly what you are trying to do and in the past the only way I could get it to renumber was to (for example) select all the lights, cut and paste back in same place. Not a great solution. I should be able to get an API working for it.<br /><br />Do you have any other great API ideas? I would like to get as many possible for AU and will share non-company specific ones (like the remark) after the session.Jason Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18108977174999073854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-58036521807683523992009-09-18T09:17:13.418-07:002009-09-18T09:17:13.418-07:00Okay...one thing I never tried was selecting eleme...Okay...one thing I never tried was selecting elements first..that does renumber them, but a bit more work.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14230364057800484763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-6439746701823483002009-09-18T09:10:58.211-07:002009-09-18T09:10:58.211-07:00Hi,

There are too many settings for what I'm proposing.<br /><br />The categories of elements that "we" don't number means "we" don't care what Mark value they get but they do need to be unique so I'd like a "shotgun" approach that just renumbers them all without regard for sequence, since it doesn't "matter".<br /><br />The Element Position tool renumbers them but it just uses the same mark value for each and it doesn't resolve the Duplicate Mark error(s).<br /><br />Now I could be doing something wrong of it might be broken but I've played with it quite a bit without "joy". 8-)Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14230364057800484763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-55432399903294591552009-09-18T08:13:00.320-07:002009-09-18T08:13:00.320-07:00The "Element Positioning" plugin in Revi...The "Element Positioning" plugin in Revit Extensions does the job you describe, here the quote from the help file:<br /><br /><i> The Extension is used to create position tags for selected elements in a Revit ® model. All element types available in Revit ®, except annotations and loads, are taken into account during positioning. After elements and positioning parameters are selected, element tags / names (for all elements or for selected ones) are generated in the Extension. Position tags are placed in the element properties (in the Mark cell), in the current (start) view, or in views you select (the option specified in the Extension)."</i><br /><br />Cheers<br />BalazsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
