Family Name Value not Family Type

6

This is a way to get a family Name in Python from a Family Type via an Element Collector.

import System
import clr
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *

clr.AddReference("RevitServices")
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager

doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument

cats = IN[0]
fam = []

fec = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfCategory(BuiltInCategory.OST_StructuralFraming).WhereElementIsElementType().ToElements()

for i in fec:
    fam.append(i.FamilyName)

OUT = fec, fam
