FamilyStructuralMaterialTypeFilter

Class

Description:
A filter used to match families that have the given structural material type.

Remarks:
This filter is a slow filter, but it uses a quick filter to eliminate non-candidate elements before the elements are obtained and expanded. Therefore this filter does not have to be paired with another quick filter to minimize the number of Elements that are expanded.

Examples

// Use FamilyStructuralMaterialType filter to find families whose material type is Wood
FamilyStructuralMaterialTypeFilter filter = new FamilyStructuralMaterialTypeFilter(StructuralMaterialType.Wood);

// Apply the filter to the elements in the active document
FilteredElementCollector collector = new FilteredElementCollector(document);
ICollection<Element> woodFamiles = collector.WherePasses(filter).ToElements();

// Find families are not Wood: Use inverted filter to match families
FamilyStructuralMaterialTypeFilter notWoodFilter =
    new FamilyStructuralMaterialTypeFilter(StructuralMaterialType.Wood, true); // inverted filter
collector = new FilteredElementCollector(document);
ICollection<Element> notWoodFamilies = collector.WherePasses(notWoodFilter).ToElements();

FamilyStructuralMaterialTypeFilter(StructuralMaterialType)	Constructs a new instance of a filter to match families that have the given structural material type.
FamilyStructuralMaterialTypeFilter(StructuralMaterialType, Boolean)	Constructs a new instance of a filter to match families by structural material type, with the option to match all families which are not of the given structural material type.
