Parameters

category
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB Category
The category.

Return Value

True if the category is visible, false otherwise.

Remarks

This checks only if the category is set visible or invisible individually. Other Revit mechanisms may also affect the visibility of elements of this category, including:
  • the category classes settings for model categories, annotation categories, import categories or analytical model categories.
  • view filters
Thus the return value may not reflect the actual visibility of elements of this category in the view.
