Hi, is it possible to get all the family instance of a category in a list ?
I would like to place all of them in one point

Somthing like this will let you collect all family types

import clr

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

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

doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument

# fams = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(Family).ToElements()
famTypes = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(FamilySymbol).ToElements()

OUT = famTypes #, fams

Thanks you both are woking !!

@Jean-Marc j’ai essayé le code Python en souhaitant collecter uniquement une catégorie donné (en INPU)

J’ai changé la ligne :
famTypes = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(FamilySymbol).ToElements()
en
famTypes = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(OST_PipeAccessory).ToElements()

Mais n’arrive pas à obtenir toutes les familles et type de la catégorie PipeAccessory…

Sais-tu comment faire ?

Merci d’avance

not tested but something like

filter = ElementCategoryFilter(OST_PipeAccessory)
collector = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(FamilySymbol).WherePasses(filter).ToElements()

or rather

.OfClass( FamilySymbol ).OfCategory( BuiltInCategory.OST_PipeAccessory ).ToElements()
