Use "model review" tool to check view filters before plotting?

[1corey]

I'm trying to setup a model review to check through my list of around 50-100 floorplans and make sure the visibility of specific filters is checked/unchecked. Can anyone point me in the right direction for this?

I'm working in Revit MEP 2011.

Thanks!

Can you make a view template with the correct checked/unchecked filters that only stores the filter settings and then apply these to the required views? it could be done manually in the project browser or via programming I would imagine.

Unfortunately, this is not a check that the Model Review tool can do (out of the box).
I think Drew's suggestion is the only thing that would work (because the API is a bit weak when it comes to dealing with View Filters).

You could do this either as a standalone addin, or (if you are doing other Model Review checks) you could do it as a Model Review plugin.

Thanks, I thought about this option however many views have their own specific filters so I'd need almost as many templates as I have views. I was hoping I could directly interface the Visibility checkbox for a specific filter through model review checks, but haven't found anything useful.

Any tips on where to start digging in to the SDK to find where to find view filter overrides? I've been searching the official 2011 API for a while now but not exactly sure what to look for.

I'm sorry I wasn't more clear... View Filter overrides don't exist in the API - even up to 2013. You can do Category and Element level overrides, and worksets in 2013 - but not filters.
- View.SetVisibility()
- View.SetWorksetVisibility()
- View.Hide()

at least that's been my experience...
