Are you trying to use the node equivalent or the backend method? For the node, simply try this:

If you want to dig deeper, you’ll need to check out the freely available source code here:

There’s a ready-made “Convert” method, so all we need to do is to get to the Revit primitive and apply the conversion method:

Hello, dear.
What I want is exactly in your first screenshot.
This is weird, because I have already tried to use .Geometry()! But it works now… Maybe, I was drunken too much.
Thank you!

If you have ever use revit python shell, it’s different than dynamo, with dynamo just use element.geometry, i finding a solution in revit python shell and it’ using python code not in C#, if i use C# it’s very easy to me.

Thanks

Sorry, unfortunately my script doesn’t work anymore, when i use the Convert() method Revit crashes. In your script the error is in line 7, something related with that reference.

I’m using Revit 2014 and the Installer for Autodesk Revit 2014.

Thanks. I found solution for this issue, my code like this :
<div style=“color: #222222;”>
<div class=“IVILX2C-Db-b” style=“color: #888888;”>selection = [ doc.GetElement( elId ) for elId in revit.ActiveUIDocument.Selection.GetElementIds() ]

opt = Options()

for i in selection:
geo = i.get_Geometry(opt)
for a in geo:
geo = a.GetInstanceGeometry()
for g in geo:
if ( g != None) & (g.Faces.Size >0):
print g.ComputeCentroid()</div>
</div>
