Hi I want to get the ElementID by passing in VIew Name from sections.
I want to set “Far Clip Offset” to room bounding walls, dont know how to do that witout extracting the ElementID by the View Name.

Trying to make a Python-script but dosent seem to work.

Error: Warning: IronPythonEvaluator.EvaluateIronPythonScript operation failed.
Traceback (most recent call last):

def get_ElementIds_from_name(Name):
    rule = ParameterFilterRuleFactory.CreateEqualsRule(Name(BuiltInParameter.VIEW_NAME), Name, True)
    filt = ElementParameterFilter(rule)
    return FilteredElementCollector(doc).WherePasses(filt).WhereElementIsNotElementType().ToElementIds()

test = "1123 Sandfilter - Vy 2"

OUT = [get_ElementIds_from_name(Name) for Name in IN[0]]

Hi Christian.

Shouldent this be enough or shall I define it higher up?

OUT = [get_ElementIds_from_name(Name) for Name in IN[0]]

My Companys IT dont let me install Visual Studio Code so its sometimes hard to solve different tasks.

I think you’re right (not necessarily need to have IN[0] before), I try to help up to my skills
if you add
OUT = [get_ElementIds_from_name(Name) for Name if Name==test in IN[0]]

I don’t think that solves your issue, it’s more of a data structure issue. You will need to first flatten your list(s) to a single list, then get a unique item from the list, then pass through your code if what you want is to get all items from a single matched parameter value
