FEATURE REQUEST: be able to mark a View as NPLT (especially Schedules) #1

Open RevitIRL opened 6 years ago

RevitIRL commented 6 years ago

I have Level schedules placed on our overall plan sheets for our reference (we have multiple sublevels) that I don't want to print when we do our final. For some reason, setting the schedule's grid lines to a NPLT style will cause them to turn off, but setting the text to NPLT styles doesn't have an effect. What I would like to do is just add NPLT to the schedules' View Name to turn them off (since there's also conditional formatting). I can imagine other types of schedules (framing, etc.) being useful to see on the sheet that they apply to (during the design phase) as well, and possibly even other view types. -Lionel

I just noticed that for Schedules, if you "Override Graphics in View" > "By Element...", there's a "Visible" checkbox that could be used (or "Hide in View" > "Elements"). That way the Schedule doesn't need to be completely removed from the Sheet (can just be easily hidden and restored). I would hope that checkbox is accessible from the API...

The same cannot be said for Viewports, however. Unchecking "Visible" for those only hides the View Title (the plan/section/detail remains visible). Since the transaction can't be undone, and the View Title isn't yet accessible from the API, the only way I can think of to do it would be to move it outside the Titleblock (right or up), and hope that the print settings aren't centered?
