Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.UI
Assembly: RevitAPIUI (in RevitAPIUI.dll) Version: 25.0.0.0 (25.0.0.0)

Syntax

public static bool ElementSelectsAsPinned(
	Document document,
	Element element
)

Public Shared Function ElementSelectsAsPinned ( 
	document As Document,
	element As Element
) As Boolean

public:
static bool ElementSelectsAsPinned(
	Document^ document, 
	Element^ element
)

static member ElementSelectsAsPinned : 
        document : Document * 
        element : Element -> bool

Parameters

document Document: The document containing the element.
element Element: The element to check.

Return Value

Boolean
True if the specified element should be treated as pinned for selection purposes, false otherwise.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null

Remarks

To improve usability, the option to disable pinned selection has some additional intelligence beyond simply checking the pinned status. For example, if a model group is pinned, the corresponding attached detail group will also be treated as pinned for the purposes of selection. If this method returns true, the specified element will not be selectable when selection of pinned elements is disabled.
