Filter by Current Design Option

Overview​

Unlike previous approaches, this filter returns a number of elements, not a collector. The ElementDesignOptionFilter class is used, providing a design option as an argument.

Example​

  1. Get the active design option ID:

    activeOptId = DesignOption.GetActiveDesignOptionId(doc)

  2. Create the filter and collect elements:

    filtro = ElementDesignOptionFilter(activeOptId)
    elems = FilteredElementCollector(doc).WherePasses(filtro).ToElements()

Note​

Any design option can be passed as an argument, not necessarily the current option. The filter can also be inverted with a Boolean value as a second argument.
