ElementLevelFilter

Class

Description:
A filter used to match elements by their associated level.

Remarks:
This filter is a slow filter. Slow filters require that the Element be obtained and expanded in memory first. Thus it is preferable to couple this filter with at least one ElementQuickFilter, which should minimize the number of Elements that are expanded.

Examples

// Use ElementLevel filter to find elements by their associated level in the document

// Find the level whose Name is "Level 1"
FilteredElementCollector collector = new FilteredElementCollector(document);
ICollection<Element> levels = collector.OfClass(typeof(Level)).ToElements();
var query = from element in collector where element.Name == "Level 1" select element;// Linq query

// Get the level id which will be used to match elements
List<Element> level1 = query.ToList<Element>();
ElementId levelId = level1[0].Id;

// Find all walls on level one
ElementLevelFilter level1Filter = new ElementLevelFilter(levelId);
collector = new FilteredElementCollector(document);
ICollection<Element> allWallsOnLevel1 = collector.OfClass(typeof(Wall)).WherePasses(level1Filter).ToElements();


// Find all rooms not on level one: use an inverted ElementLevelFilter to match all elements not on the target level
ElementLevelFilter notOnLevel1Filter = new ElementLevelFilter(levelId, true); // Inverted filter
collector = new FilteredElementCollector(document);
IList<Element> allRoomsNotOnLevel1 = collector.WherePasses(new RoomFilter()).WherePasses(notOnLevel1Filter).ToElements();

ElementLevelFilter Class Members:

Name	Description	Inherited From
ElementLevelFilter(ElementId)	Constructs a new instance of an ElementLevelFilter.
ElementLevelFilter(ElementId, Boolean)	Constructs a new instance of an ElementLevelFilter, with the option to match all elements not associated to the given level id.

Name	Description	Inherited From
Inverted	True if the results of the filter are inverted; elements that would normally be accepted by this filter will be rejected, and elements that would normally be rejected will be accepted. (Inherited from ElementFilter )	ElementFilter
IsValidObject	Specifies whether the .NET object represents a valid Revit entity. (Inherited from ElementFilter )	ElementFilter
LevelId	The id of the level that will be matched to elements' associated level.

Name	Description	Inherited From
Dispose	(Inherited from ElementFilter )	ElementFilter
Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object )	Object
GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object )	Object
GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object )	Object
PassesFilter(Element)	Applies the filter to a given element. (Inherited from ElementFilter )	ElementFilter
PassesFilter(Document, ElementId)	Applies the filter to a given element. (Inherited from ElementFilter )	ElementFilter
ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object )	Object
