I am working with python 3 in dynamo and i got stuck with ISelectionFilter. And i dont know why, even though a lot of code on the internet still working.
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
uidoc = uiapp.ActiveUIDocument
class MySelectionFilter(ISelectionFilter):
def __init__(self):
pass
def AllowElement(self, element):
if element.Category.Name == "Walls":
return True
else:
return False
def AllowReference(self, element):
return False
selection_filter = MySelectionFilter()
wall = uidoc.Selection.PickObject(ObjectType.Element, selection_filter)
OUT = wall
The TypeError: interface takes exactly one argument

ISelectionFilter
Xinh Chao Anh Thanh!
pyrevit does not support python 3 that well yet.
the piece of code you provided misses the imports and seems to be a dynamo script. Not entirely the same framework, so it would need some tweaking depending on the import section
plenty of example all around about ISelectionFilter:
Hi, i am new on this forum (and in pyrevit). I watched all pyRevit tutorials and now i try to write my first “button”. So i start from easy project (but not easy for me…). I want to pick elements and linked elements in model, and then show the lists of them (i know there are few programs for this but this is learning project). I spent a lot of time (written few scripts) but nothing is change… I can’t extract and print the data. My script looks:
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
from Autodesk.Revi…
class CustomISelectionFilter(ISelectionFilter):
"""Filter user selection to certain element."""
def __init__(self, cats):
self.cats = cats
def AllowElement(self, e):
if str(e.Category.Id) == str(self.cats):
#if e.Category.Name == "Walls"
return True
return False
class ISelectionFilter_Classes(ISelectionFilter):
def __init__(self, allowed_types):
""" ISelectionFilter made to filter with types
:param allowed_types: list of allowed Types"""
self.allowed_types = allowed_types
def AllowElement(self, element):
if type(element) in self.allowed_types:
return True
The error you mention usually lists the line of the error, providing the full script + the full error text / providing context usually helps us provide with answer

You are in the wrong forum then. If you plan on getting things to work in dynamo, then the dynamo forum is the place to ask.
