A filter used to match elements which are curve driven.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 24.0.0.0 (24.0.0.0)
Since: 2011

Syntax

C#
`public class ElementIsCurveDrivenFilter : ElementQuickFilter`

Visual Basic
`Public Class ElementIsCurveDrivenFilter _ Inherits ElementQuickFilter`

Visual C++
`public ref class ElementIsCurveDrivenFilter : public ElementQuickFilter`

Remarks

The term "curve driven" indicates that the element's Location property is a LocationCurve. Example elements found by this filter include walls, beams, and curve elements. This filter is a quick filter. Quick filters operate only on the ElementRecord, a low-memory class which has a limited interface to read element properties. Elements which are rejected by a quick filter will not be expanded in memory.

Examples

CopyC#

// Create an ElementIsCurveDriven filter to find slanted columns(which is curve-driven) in the document,
// The term "curve driven" indicates that the element's Location property is a LocationCurve
ElementIsCurveDrivenFilter filter = new ElementIsCurveDrivenFilter();

// Apply the filter to the elements in the active document,
// Use the ElementIsCurveDrivenFilter on columns to find only slanted columns (vertical columns 
// are placed at a single point).
FilteredElementCollector collector = new FilteredElementCollector(document);
ICollection<Element> slantColumns = collector
    .WherePasses(filter).OfCategory(BuiltInCategory.OST_StructuralColumns).ToElements();

// Find elements of not curve driven: use inverted filter to match elements
ElementIsCurveDrivenFilter notCurveDrivenFilter = new ElementIsCurveDrivenFilter(true); // inverted filter
collector = new FilteredElementCollector(document);
ICollection<Element> notCurveDrivenFounds = collector.WherePasses(notCurveDrivenFilter).ToElements();
