Syntax 
public class BoundingBoxIsInsideFilter : ElementQuickFilter

The BoundingBoxIsInsideFilter type exposes the following members.

Constructors
Name Description
Public method BoundingBoxIsInsideFilter(Outline) Constructs a new instance of a filter to match elements with a bounding box that is contained by the given Outline.
Public method BoundingBoxIsInsideFilter(Outline, Boolean) Constructs a new instance of a filter to match elements with a bounding box is contained by the given Outline, with the option to invert the filter and match all elements with a bounding box that are not contained by the given Outline.
Public method BoundingBoxIsInsideFilter(Outline, Double) Constructs a new instance of a filter to match elements with a bounding box that is contained by the given Outline.
Public method BoundingBoxIsInsideFilter(Outline, Double, Boolean) Constructs a new instance of a filter to match elements with a bounding box is contained by the given Outline, with the option to invert the filter and match all elements with a bounding box that are not contained by the given Outline.

Properties
Name Description
Public property Inverted True if the results of the filter are inverted; elements that would normally be accepted by this filter will be rejected, and elements that would normally be rejected will be accepted.
(Inherited from ElementFilter )
Public property IsValidObject Specifies whether the .NET object represents a valid Revit entity.
(Inherited from ElementFilter )
Public property Tolerance Allows control over the match criteria by using a tolerance in the geometry comparison. It is suggested to use this in cases where trivial differences should be considered when matching elements.

Methods
Name Description
Public method Dispose
(Inherited from ElementFilter )
Public method Equals Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.
(Inherited from Object )
Public method GetBoundingBox Gets the outline being used for this filter.
Public method GetHashCode Serves as the default hash function.
(Inherited from Object )
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance.
(Inherited from Object )
Public method PassesFilter(Element) Applies the filter to a given element.
(Inherited from ElementFilter )
Public method PassesFilter(Document, ElementId) Applies the filter to a given element.
(Inherited from ElementFilter )
Public method ToString Returns a string that represents the current object.

Remarks
This filter excludes all objects derived from View and objects derived from ElementType. 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.
Example 
// Use BoundingBoxIsInside filter to find elements with a bounding box that is contained(inside completely) 
// by the given Outline in the document.

// Create a Outline, use a minimum and maximum XYZ point to initialize the outline. 
Outline myOutLn = new Outline(new XYZ(0, 0, 0), new XYZ(100, 100, 100));

// Create a BoundingBoxIsInside filter for Outline
BoundingBoxIsInsideFilter filter = new BoundingBoxIsInsideFilter(myOutLn);

// Apply the filter to the elements in the active document
// This filter excludes all objects derived from View and objects derived from ElementType
FilteredElementCollector collector = new FilteredElementCollector(document);
IList<Element> elements = collector.WherePasses(filter).ToElements();


// Find walls outside BoundingBox: use an inverted filter to match elements
// Use shortcut command OfClass() to find walls only
BoundingBoxIsInsideFilter outsideFilter = new BoundingBoxIsInsideFilter(myOutLn, true); // inverted filter
collector = new FilteredElementCollector(document);
IList<Element> outsideFounds = collector.OfClass(typeof(Wall)).WherePasses(outsideFilter).ToElements();
