Structural Framing Visualize Geometry Not Updating #253

Closed Keeps11 closed 1 week ago

Keeps11 commented 2 weeks ago

When a Structural Framing Element(Beam) has one of the Steel Connection(the in-build connection families, in the 'Steel' ribbon tab) used on it and then you modify the 'z Offset Value' parameter. The visualized geometry doesn't update as shown below. From what I can tell the Family Instance Transform isn't updating when the 'z Offset Value' parameter is changed. image image image

Geometry in Revit is not binding to an element and is not updated when it is modified, so when updating an element, the get_Geometry() method must be called again to update the geometry

maybe helpful do explicitly point this out in the wiki...

Maybe. I'll update this weekend, the thing is that Revit creates a new Solid when changing an element, instead of updating an existing one

Sorry for late reply and some missing information. Even after restarting Revit or Lookup and looking at the same element without making any modifications the issue still remains. However through more investigation it seems that get_Geometry(Active View) returns what I would expect image but Model, medium/fine detail level returns this image am I missing something, shouldn't these be the same
