I have a custom extension with multiple tabs. I’d like to set an order to the tabs without relying on renaming the tab folders - i.e. I’d rather not have the tabs labeled 1. 2. 3.
I’ve run across something saying I need a title attribute in the bundle.yaml file under the tab folder, but that doesn’t seem to do anything.
Is this possible?
Thanks!
It’s possible! (If all tabs is in the same .extension at least)
Place a bundle.yaml file in the .extension folder:
layout:
- Tab3
- Tab1
- Tab2
This will sort the tabs in the order you want.
I think you cannot control the pyRevit tab however (if it’s “deployed”), it will be placed as the last tab.
you can also give this a shot try CTRL+Click and drag the tab directly in Revit.
No way! I have learned something new, there. Thanks
would this work with tab names with brackets?
such as the following
pyHTX.extension
>HTX[CORE].tab
>HTX[HVAC].tab
>HTX[MEP].tab
> bundle.yaml
inside the bundle.yaml i have
layout:
-HTX[MEP]
-HTX[HVAC]
-HTX[CORE]
i tried this also but no dice
layout:
-”HTX[MEP]”
-”HTX[HVAC]”
-”HTX[CORE]”
so don’t know if this is a fluke or not. as i was duplicated my .extension to test with simpler naming, it would work when it was first loaded into revit, the order I chose in the bundle.yaml was exactly what was in Revit. i then changed the order, close down revit, re-opened, but the order did not update. i tested this a few more times.
For me at least, the tab ordering only ever successfully applied if it was a brand new .extension that has never been loaded into revit. once it had been loaded. the bundle.yaml updated order was no longer taking effect.
Is there some data/cache being saved somewhere that needs to be deleted?
