Automatically ZoomToFit Activated View

Tools
1

@cridder asked me this question in an email. Here is an example of view-activated.py hook script that ensures any view you open in Revit is zoomed to fit.

from pyrevit import revit
from pyrevit import EXEC_PARAMS

cview = EXEC_PARAMS.event_args.CurrentActiveView
for view in revit.uidoc.GetOpenUIViews():
    if view.ViewId == cview.Id:
        view.ZoomToFit()

For context, the ZoomToFit() method is a method of UIView class (ApiDocs.co) so we have to find the UIView instance pointing to the view first

Just added revit.active_ui_view to the develop branch to make this a bit easier
