May be konrad is busy. You can try this script:

```
import clr
clr.AddReference('ProtoGeometry')
from Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry import *

# Import ToDSType(bool) extension method
clr.AddReference("RevitNodes")
import Revit
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.Elements)

# Import DocumentManager and TransactionManager
clr.AddReference("RevitServices")
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager

from System.Collections.Generic import *

# Import RevitAPI
clr.AddReference("RevitAPI")
import Autodesk
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *

doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
uiapp = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentUIApplication
app = uiapp.Application

type = UnwrapElement(IN[0].Family.Name)
name = UnwrapElement(IN[0].Name)

family = UnwrapElement(IN[0]).Family

TransactionManager.Instance.ForceCloseTransaction()
famDoc = doc.EditFamily(family)

famCollector = FilteredElementCollector(famDoc)
sketch = famCollector.OfClass(Sketch)

for i in sketch:
	cArray = list(i.Profile)
cArray[:] = [[Revit.GeometryConversion.RevitToProtoCurve.ToProtoType(y, True ) for y in x] for x in cArray]
OUT = cArray

```
