I want to filter only isolated footings. Please let me know how to do that ?

TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)


# Get foundation
footing = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfCategory(BuiltInCategory.OST_StructuralFoundation).ToElements()

footype = footing.GetType

TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()

OUT = footype

@shashank.baganeACM , hi

Maybe you can get it via visibleInCurrenedView Whats your critera for filtering you can also GetParameterByNameAndValue and filter your footings.

@shashank.baganeACM try this:

footing = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(FamilyInstance).
OfCategory(BuiltInCategory.OST_StructuralFoundation).
WhereElementIsNotElementType().ToElements()

@Draxl_Andreas It works for me.

footings = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(FamilyInstance).OfCategory(BuiltInCategory.OST_StructuralFoundation).WhereElementIsNotElementType().ToElements()

OUT = footings

Hi @tradelie it works only if a single should be (instance) should be present in the active view. But if I want the loaded families(isolated footings) then ?

Let’s imagine I have not placed any of the footings (instances) in the active view. the how to get the loaded footings ?

@shashank.baganeACM if you want the family types, you can use the family symbol instead and where elements are types:

footing = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(FamilySymbol).
OfCategory(BuiltInCategory.OST_StructuralFoundation).
WhereElementIsElementType().ToElements()

Thanks Man @Elie.Trad It worked. So to get types we need to use familysymbol.

Thanks alot. I appreciate that.
