§Elements in Revit is bundled in one sack
§To retrieve an element of
interest, you will need to iterate, filter and/or query them.
§Typically, we would like to:
1.Retrieve a list of family types (e.g., wall types, door types)
2.Retrieve instances of a specific object class
(e.g.,
all the walls, all the doors)
3.Find a specific family type with a given name
(e.g., “Basic Wall:
Generic – 200mm”, “M_Single-Flush: 0915 x 2134mm”)
4.Find specific instances (e.g.,
“Level 1” “View Plan 1”)
§ Similar to identifying element, you will need
to consider a different approach depending on whether an element
is a component-based or
system-based.
