Hi.
I created a content button using a Revit family. Now after the name there is a ●. Can someone explain to me why it is there and if I can get rid of it. I’ve only recently started using pyrevit. Could someone explain that to me?
This is my rfa file name: example_content.rfa
Hi @Manuel486,
You can find thorough explaination here
And a sample of it’s content here pyRevit/extensions/pyRevitBundlesCreatorExtension.extension/pyRevit Bundles Creator.tab/Button creation.panel/button_types/content_button at develop · eirannejad/pyRevit · GitHub
The little black dot implies there is an alternative family to the one named *content.rfa, that can be loaded thanks to shift+click _ the one named *other.rfa
I haven’t tried with only one family in the folder myself, so the dot could be there anyway which would be a bug. In this case fill in a GitHub issue. But be aware that the UI does not always refresh properly after a simple reload. Sometimes it requires a restart.
Also note that the little dot also expresses the possibility of a config.py to run with shift+click as well. A few pushbuttons in the pyrevit base tools do have this option: minifyUI or select for example.
There are three files in my example.content folder.
a family with the extension _content.rfa.
a bundle.yaml with title, tooltip and author.
the third file is icon.png.
The button in revit also doesn’t show a shift-click option.
its like the isolate button in the pyrevit ribbon selection. There is a point behind the name but it shows no shift click option.
If there are only the three files mentioned, you should not get the dot button.
so this is an issue in the pyRevit code base
I tested it, and I see the same thing as you do.
Please fill in an issue report here: Issue in pyRevit
