Feature request: Show Family Type Name in comparison results

[andydandy74]

Since the comparison results dialog is resizable, it would be nice to have some additional valuable information in there, in particular the name of the family type. Something like {Category}: {Family Type}: {ElementId}: {Change Type}

[andydandy74]

What would be even better: Having the family type as an additional hierarchy element for structuring the results. Example:

• Changes
  • Change Type
    • Category
      • Family Type

Use case: We often find that we only need to look at changed instances of certain family types. This would make it much easier to filter out everything that is not relevant in a particular case.

I'd add to the above, having the parameter name of the changed parameter added to that hierarchy would also be very useful if possible. It would allow us to quickly identify which parameters were changed, regardless of the value. At the moment there is no easy way of finding out which parameters have changed. Is that right?

Thanks – you are correct about only tracking one kind of change per element, and that’s something we should address.

With respect to changes, at the moment, the only place to see the changed parameters in the User Interface is when you mouse over the ParameterChange in the tree, it should show you what the changes are in a tooltip.

Thanks I hadn't noticed that tooltip.
