Model Checker Tip – Browser Organization

I haven’t done a Model Checker tip in a while, but I recently got a question about what it can do, and I thought I would share it here.

Can you check for specific Browser Organization types or create a filter for the OTTB list?

Short story – sure!

The API Type “Criteria” lets you dig deeper into the Revit database than just by collecting elements based on Category. Don’t get me wrong, Category filters will probably make up 95% or more of your checks, but sometimes you need a bigger shovel.

The filter would be:

API Type / Full Class Name = Autodesk.Revit.DB.BrowserOrganization

That collects the list of Browser Organization schemes in the model, then you can filter like usual.

A quick peek using Revit Lookup (essential for good Model Checks) listed 2 “ALL” schemes in my quick test, so you will need to get creative with your filters. Luckily, this shouldn’t be a massive list, and doing some manual pruning should be easy.
