Convert objects to Elements

1

Hi, I’m having a trouble trying to use DataShapes nodes to generate a UI to select elements from Revit. I want to connect UI.SelectModelsElement Data node to Elements.Faces node, but it’s not possible since the former one generates a System.Object and the latter one only accepts Elements.

You’re missing a node. All DataShapes UI input nodes have to go through the UI.MultipleInputForm ++ node to return elements.

Thanks. Already solved it. If you want to use the element selected in UI.SelectModelsElement Data node as an “ELEMENT”, you should use the output in UI.MultipleInputForm ++ node.
I was mistakenly using the direct output in UI.SelectModelsElement Data
