Creating "Toggle" Buttons

[jgeorge425201]

Is it possible for an average user to create, basically, an On/Off button that can be placed on the Quick Access toolbar? A similar example would be the Revit "Thin Lines" button. I have that on my Quick Access bar..... one click turns it on, click again turns it off.

We turn a lot of things on and off through Visibility Graphics all day long.... (plates, rebar, voids, etc...). Right now it takes us 4 clicks (VG/Filter/Deselect Item/OK) ..... to turn the plates off. Same process to turn them back on. Will the Revit API allow a user to create a 1-click toggle button (and place it on the Quick Access Toolbar) that does this? If so, how advanced a task would it be to create this?

Thanks!

You can create such toggle buttons with the API. Here is a post of Jeremy showing how to do: http://thebuildingcoder.typepad.com/...le-button.html. You create the button in a ribbon panel and after that, the user can move it in the quick access bar.

Next you need to add code to turn off/on visibility. For that there is a sample in the SDK (VisibilityControl).

Difficult for an average user, easy for a developer. But I believe there is some visibility stuff you can not control with the API.
