Hello,

elemIds = []

for id in IN[0]:
    elemIds.append(ElementId(id))


#Assign your output to the OUT variable.
OUT = elemIds

Something like this?

elemIds = []

for id in IN[0]:
	elemIds.append(id.Id)
	
OUT = elemIds

Thank you!

So you can dotting in brakets also… Can i see it like this: …x.append(i.anyproperties)
can i query BuildInParameters?

Is my code from C# … i got it from anywhere?

I’m not the best person to comment on that since I’m also starting out with API.
But, yes, I believe you should be able to access the element property using that (as long as it exists for that type of element). Also, you need to unwrap the element to access the properties…

elementCategory = []


for elem in UnwrapElement(IN[0]):
	elementCategory.append(elem.Category.Name)
	
OUT = elementCategory

And no, ElementId(id) is not something C# specific, it’s a Constructor

It is not supposed to return the Element’s ID!
