Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.UI
Assembly: RevitAPIUI (in RevitAPIUI.dll) Version: 21.0.0.0 (21.1.1.109)
Since:  2016

Syntax

C#
public static bool ElementSelectsAsPinned(
	Document document,
	Element element
)
Visual Basic
Public Shared Function ElementSelectsAsPinned ( _
	document As Document, _
	element As Element _
) As Boolean
Visual C++
public:
static bool ElementSelectsAsPinned(
	Document^ document, 
	Element^ element
)

Parameters

document
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..Document
The document containing the element.
element
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..Element
The element to check.

Return Value

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

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.

Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions..::..ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was NULL
