Panel / Button active state without an active open file?

Tools
1

Hi All,

I’m busy with a custom extension and ran into an issue which I’m not sure is possible, hence me reaching out.

I require a button to be active on the custom toolbar without having an active / open file. Currently the entire toolbar is greyed out without having a file open.

I tried adding this into the yaml file but it’s not working.

title: [Button Title]
tooltip: [Button Description]
enabled: true
alwaysavailable: true

Any advice / help is welcome!

Thanks

Hi, and Welcome,

try in your bundle.yaml for your button:
context: zero-doc

Bundle context

Thank you very much @Jean-Marc !!

I managed to get a single pushbutton to work, but I’m struggling with a Panel > Pulldown > urlbottons. Can this be done? Attached are some screenshots, not sure if I’m getting the syntax wrong?

Thank you!

you probably need to restart Revit for such changes. the Reload button does not always work as expected when updating thte UI/buttons

Thank you, and yes, I did open and close Revit a couple of times. I ended up also putting “context: zero-doc” in all the *.yaml files throughout the button hierarchy.
