Hello everyone! :slight_smile:
I’d like to know if someone knows a way to estract from the model the Built In names of the categoties (that one with the prefix “OST_”) sorted by SP group…

I’m a novice and It’s several days that I’m trying to do that…without succes :frowning:

Thanks!

Hi @mixmastermich

You want to sort categories by Shared Parameter(SP)?

3

not exactly, by its SP Parameter Group

4

Do you Know if is this possible?

6

Yes. Could you show us your graph with all the previews on?

I’d like something like this, but this one is sorted with name parameters, i need with SP Parameter group.

the content of the python is:

import clr
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
import Autodesk
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
import System
from System.Collections.Generic import List
clr.AddReference('RevitNodes')
import Revit
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.Elements)
clr.AddReference('RevitServices')
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument

builtInCats = System.Enum.GetValues(BuiltInCategory)

def getBips(bic):
	bic = [ElementId(bic)]
	catlist = List[ElementId](bic)
	paramUtils = Autodesk.Revit.DB.ParameterFilterUtilities
	paramIds = paramUtils.GetFilterableParametersInCommon(doc,catlist)
	builtInParams = System.Enum.GetValues(BuiltInParameter)
	bipIds = []
	for bip in builtInParams:
		bipIds.append(ElementId(bip))
	bipDict = dict(zip(bipIds,builtInParams))
	bips = [bipDict.get(pId, None) for pId in paramIds]
	if bips == []:
		bips = [None]
	return bips

OUT = zip(builtInCats, map(getBips, builtInCats))
