Convert the dependent view to independent.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 24.0.0.0 (24.0.0.0)
Since: 2016

Syntax

C#
`public void ConvertToIndependent()`

Visual Basic
`Public Sub ConvertToIndependent`

Visual C++
`public: void ConvertToIndependent()`

Remarks

This method can be only applied to a dependent view. A dependent view can be created from another view using method View.Duplicate(ViewDuplicateOption.AsDependent). Dependent views have a valid primary view element ID that can be obtained via method View.GetPrimaryViewId(); Independent views have InvalidElementId as their primary view ID.

Examples

CopyC#

public void MakeViewIndependent(View view)
{
    // Independent views will have an InvalidElementId for the Primary View Id
    if (view.GetPrimaryViewId() != ElementId.InvalidElementId)
    {
        view.ConvertToIndependent();
    }
}

CopyVB.NET

Public Sub MakeViewIndependent(view As View)
    ' Independent views will have an InvalidElementId for the Primary View Id
    If view.GetPrimaryViewId() <> ElementId.InvalidElementId Then
        view.ConvertToIndependent()
    End If
End Sub
