Has anyone successfuly created a Scope Box with the API?

I'd like to be able to create scope boxes around a certain family, each time it appears in plan view.

I haven't looked into this yet, but I wanted to pick your brains and see if anyone else has already done this.

I'd also like to create dependant views and apply a scope box for each dependant view.

I haven't tried it but looking at the API and doing a little in Revit test suggests it's not possible as there is no CreateScopeBox method. So while you might be able to do some manipulation of an existing scopebox this isn't what you want.

Also you can't create dependent views via the API only master views.

HTH,

Guy
