Hello,
How can i see my Parameter Names?:
elements = UnwrapElement(myDoors)
test = []
for i in elements:
for j in i.Parameters:
test.append(j)
OUT = test
and how do i call a specific one like “Comments” and his values?
:)KR

You have to get the Definition and then get the Name
elements = UnwrapElement(myDoors)
test = []
for element in elements:
for parameter in element.Parameters:
parameterName = parameter.Definition.Name
test.append(parameterName)
OUT = test
And if you want a specific one, do it like this:
elements = UnwrapElement(myDoors)
test = []
for element in elements:
parameter = element.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.ALL_MODEL_INSTANCE_COMMENTS)
test.append(parameter)
OUT = testHow’s the second example work? I just tried it and got
i got the same issue
Yes that is the Parameter API object for the Parameter “Comments”.
from there you can get the name of the parameter → “Comments” or the Value of the parameter of the storage type. If you want the name, follow my first example:
Get the name via Parameter → Definition → Name
name = parameter.Definition.Name
no it worked
for getting this parameter i can index it or call?
asString, toString
for element in elements:
for parameter in element.Parameters:
parameterName = parameter.Definition.Name
test.append(parameterName.AsString())
for element in elements:
parameter = element.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.ALL_MODEL_INSTANCE_COMMENTS)
test1.append(parameter.AsString())
the reason is i also want call the values from the parameter “comments”! so the output should be strings
The AsString() methode behind the parameterName is a bit unnessecery since ParameterName is already a string
^This is the right way to get the value for the Comments parameter via the api
Hello,
I made this zip-loop - it works well! i want to make dictionary that keys and values match.
And when they the symbols got placed.
for i in zip(Types,sym):
dic.append(i)
Can i say in the for-loop alredy which is Key and Value?
{ Key : Value, "Type" : "Comment", DetailComponent : Door}
if Comment "Gelb":
place.Symbol"Gelb" to centerpoint of coresponding door
Thats the “psychoCode”
hmmmm

Easiest way would be to first create a dictionary with only keys:
types = ["Gelb","Blau","Rot"]
dictionary = dict()
for color in types:
dictionary.add(color, [])
This will give you an dictionary with Blau, Gelb, Rot
The loop thru your elements with comments:
for element in elements:
parameter = get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.ALL_MODEL_INSTANCE_COMMENTS)
value = parameter.AsString()
if dictionary.Keys.Contains(value):
dictionary[value].append(element)
This will give you a dictionary with the elements sorted in yellow, red and blue
full code:
types = ["Gelb","Blau","Rot"]
dictionary = dict()
for color in types:
dictionary.add(color, [])
for element in elements:
parameter = get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.ALL_MODEL_INSTANCE_COMMENTS)
value = parameter.AsString()
if dictionary.Keys.Contains(value):
dictionary[value].append(element)need i any special library?
how do i difine “add”?
add has to be Add (didn’t test the code before hand, just typing it off the top of my head)
But you need to import the dictionary from the System.Collections.Generic
After you can use “Add()”
I always use:
from "namespace" import * #to import everything in the namespace
it still says i have an index error?
import sys
import clr
from "namespace" import *
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
from Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure import *
clr.AddReference('RevitAPIUI')
from Autodesk.Revit.UI import *
clr.AddReference('System')
from System.Collections.Generic import List
clr.AddReference('RevitNodes')
import Revit
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.GeometryConversion)
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.Elements)
clr.AddReference('RevitServices')
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
uiapp = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentUIApplication
app = uiapp.Application
uidoc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentUIApplication.ActiveUIDocument
TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
types = ["Blau","Gelb","Rot"]
myDoors = FilteredElementCollector(doc).
OfCategory(BuiltInCategory.OST_Doors).WhereElementIsNotElementType().ToElements()
Symbl = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfCategory(BuiltInCategory.OST_DetailComponents).WhereElementIsElementType().ToElements()
elements = UnwrapElement(myDoors)
points =[]
test = []
dic = dict()
for element in elements:
parameter = element.get_Parameter
(BuiltInParameter.ALL_MODEL_INSTANCE_COMMENTS)
test.append(parameter.AsString())
for color in types:
dic.add(color, [])
for element in elements:
parameter = get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.ALL_MODEL_INSTANCE_COMMENTS)
value = parameter.AsString()
if dic.Keys.Contains(value):
dic[value].append(element)
for e in elements:
bb = e.get_BoundingBox(None)
if not bb is None:
centre = bb.Min+(bb.Max-bb.Min)/2
points.append(centre.ToPoint())
for s in Symbl:
try:
if types.Contains(s.Family.Name):
output.append(s)
except:
pass
TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()
OUT = test,dic
#Get Location pointsHe means `“namespace” as an infill 
Just use
from System.Collections.Generic import *
and make sure you use Add() in stead of add().
hello
- there is an indentation problem at lines 60, 61, 62
- element.get_Parameter(…) at line 52
Note:
avoid try… except:pass (unless you have no other solution)
As far as I know its GetParameterValue?
ElementID is the BuiltIn enum that was previously mentioned
Please read through some of the API. Also a quick search on the docs never hurt.
The 3rd for loop you are calling get_Parameter without element.
Make sure it says element.get_Parameter.
these are my pices right now.
one piece in python would be get view f.e. floor one
how can i get this together in the dictionary? In the dictionary there is still an errortest.dyn (5.6 KB)
