Hello,

I get the path very easy! how can i get just the Name?

```
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
x = Document.PathName.GetValue(doc)
OUT = x

```

Is there no node like .GetName(doc)

Can I `UnwrapElement(doc)`?

Hi @Draxl_Andreas,

```auto
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
x = doc.Title
OUT = x

```

The correct property for the name of the document is “Title”.

just “dotting” it out… …how can i get the “vocabulary” for “dotting” out a document or element?

Is there a dictionary? is this a python topic or Revit API?
