Hello everyone, I am looking for the way to find out the view that spot elevation placed on. When I check its properties, likely workset parameter showing the view name. But when I use Getparametervaluebyname in Dynamo, it showing results of odd numbers. Does anyone have an idea about this? Thank you for your support. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/3/0/301a603d9f5456a09b676ef40a0a6f2d3d73456e.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/8/e/8e7d09597407cf88b57cd5d3e54274ef6e2eba6d.png) ---

The workset parameter represents a workset element. The parameter returns the `ElementId` of that workset. That will not be the same as the view `ElementId`. Instead, you can get the `OwnerView` from the spot elevation. ---

Thank you for your reply, I just tried with OwnerView but it doesn’t work. Might be I am using Revit 2023 so the API is different with older version. Can you teach me how can I search for the proper parameter name? Thank you ---

Try `OwnerViewId`, then `doc.GetElement(id)` for the actual element. > **[OwnerViewId Property](https://www.revitapidocs.com/2023/174c1adf-0be8-a4b0-41f3-9e3ea1d6b1f1.htm)** > > Online Documentation for Autodesk's Revit API: 2015, 2016, 2017, 2017.1, 2018 ---

From the archilab Package. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/a/4/a4816760e4d9720e2ba16ef351d57913d58c20ea.png) The ‘hard’ way. If an Element can’t be placed on a Workset, in example a Dimension, but the Element has the Workset Parameter the Parameter get the name of the View the Element is placed on. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/5/1/512d90ab8eab32bd99c0ed82383fa665df3ba198.png) You must have to add some more Nodes if you really just want to end up with the name this way ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/5/2/523c1582f9494f6937f24f50c3d02ad7f244aead.png) ---

As @bvs1982 indicated, OwnerView does work. And i can confirm that in R2023 it does work with either the archilab OR Clockwork node. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/4/c/4c361fd315d6210e1646f4baf0f63a9da3999a82.png) ---

Yes, you are right, it does work with Clockwork and Archilab. Thank you for your support
