From a list of elements, it’s values for parameters depending on each kind of parameter it has

Hello guys,

So, My problem is: from a list of elements, I need to get it’s values depending on each kind of parameter it has. The Farthest I Could Go Was This above, But It Is Not Working Because I need to treat differently each element depending on it’s parameters … Any ideas?

#Creating ICollection

#gating parameters as strings
return element.LookupParameter(“CES_metre”).AsString() + " _ " + element.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.RBS_PIPING_SYSTEM_TYPE_PARAM).AsValueString() + " _ " + element.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.RBS_PIPE_DIAMETER_PARAM).AsValueString()

MAPPING PARAMETERS TO BE USED AS VALUES

def lengh_for_pipes(element):

for unique_key in keys}
“”"

OUT = 0

Found a solution… maybe not the most elegant one but It will do

do you know how to get the builtin parameters of all Revit categories without selecting any element or any element in views as this example?, for example get builtin parameters of elements of a category that do not exist in our project

hey @ruben.romero
Not really, sorry.
But sounds like an interesting workflow
