C# Класс BuildingCoder.NestedFamilyFunctions

Returns a reference to the FAMILY parameter (as a simple Parameter data type) on the given instance for the parameter with the given name. Will return the parameter whether it is an instance or type parameter. Returns null if no parameter on the instance was found.

Even though the data type returned is the more generic Parameter type, it will actually be for the data of the internal FamilyParameter object.

Returns a list of the nested family files in the given family document whose name matches the given family file name filter. Useful for checking to see if a family desired for nesting into the host family document is already nested in. Filtering is done with a simple Contains (substring) check, so wildcards don't work.

Because standard Revit filtering techniques fail when searching for nested families in a family document, we have no choice but to iterate over all elements in the family. While there usually aren't that many elements at the family level, nonetheless this method has been built for speed.

Returns a list of family instances found in the given family document whose family file name matches the given familyFileNameFilter and whose type name matches the given typeNameFilter. If no filter values are provided (or they evaluate to the empty string when trimmed) then all instances will be evaluated. Filtering is done with a simple Contains (substring) check, so wildcards don't work.

Because standard Revit filtering techniques fail when searching for nested families in a family document, we have no choice but to iterate over all elements in the family. While there usually aren't that many elements at the family level, nonetheless this method has been built for MAXIMUM SPEED.

This method takes an instance of a nested family and links a parameter on it to a parameter on the given host family instance. This allows a change at the host level to automatically be sent down and applied to the nested family instance.

Returns whether or not the nameToCheck matches the given filter. This is done with a simple Contains check, so wildcards won't work.

This method will validate the provided Revit Document to make sure the reference exists and is for a FAMILY document. It will throw an ArgumentNullException if nothing is sent, and will throw an ArgumentOutOfRangeException if the document provided isn't a family document (e.g. is a project document)
