Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB Class: Group

Group.IsCompatibleAttachedDetailGroupType

Method

Description:
Checks if the orientation of the input attached detail group matches the input view's orientation.

Remarks:
Currently, detail groups in perpendicular elevation views (for example, North and East views) are considered compatible. When showing these detail groups, an error (FailureMessage) based on id can be generated if the orientation of the annotations do not match the orientation of the target view (for example, the failure definition DimensionPerpendicularToView). To prevent displaying detail groups in the wrong view, you can check the OwnerViewId of a detail group to make sure it matches the view in which you are trying to display it.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
view	View	The view that the input attached detail group must be compatible with.

Return Value

Type	Description
