Insertion Point Within BoundingBox

Overview​

The BoundingBoxContainsPointFilter() starts from the origin point of an element and detects which elements are located inside it.

Example​

  1. Get the element and its insertion point:

    Element = UnwrapElement(IN[0])
    Point = Element.Location.Point

  2. Filter elements by insertion point:

    Filter = BoundingBoxContainsPointFilter(Point)
    elems = FilteredElementCollector(doc, doc.ActiveView.Id).WherePasses(Filter).ToElements()

Note​

This filter allows defining a tolerance and/or inverting it with a Boolean.
