Syntax

C#

public bool IsCompatibleAttachedDetailGroupType(
	View view,
	ElementId detailGroupTypeId
)

Parameters

view  View
The view that the input attached detail group must be compatible with.
detailGroupTypeId  ElementId
The attached detail group that will be checked for compatibility with the input view.

Return Value

Boolean
Returns true if the input attached detail group is compatible with the input view and false otherwise.

Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was null
InvalidOperationException The input group is not a model group and can therefore not have attached detail groups.

Remarks

Currently, detail groups in perpendicular elevation views (for example, North and East views) are considered compatible. When showing these detail groups, an error (FailureMessage) based on id can be generated if the orientation of the annotations do not match the orientation of the target view (for example, the failure definition DimensionPerpendicularToView). To prevent displaying detail groups in the wrong view, you can check the OwnerViewId of a detail group to make sure it matches the view in which you are trying to display it.
