Get Spec Type mit Codeblock or Python

[CarlosCMB]

How can I get the SpecTypes with code. Right now I just make a list with the node Spec Types but I would like to have it with code. These dropdowns are always problematic and I like only to use them for user input. Any ideas?

list(map(lambda t_id: LabelUtils.GetLabelForSpec(t_id), SpecUtils.GetAllSpecs()))

Thanks,but what I am looking for is the Spec Types to use in the node Parameter.SharedParameter. this code gives me just the Names of the Spec Types as String

Hi,

Here are some examples

String to Spec Type

Hi, here is a solution with Python the input is a flat list of the Name of Parameter Type (Spec Type) : in English or in Revit Current language [image] Python code (compatible to all engines) import clr import sys import System clr.AddReference("RevitAPI") import Autodesk from Autodesk.Revit.DB import * clr.AddReference("RevitServices") import RevitServices from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager doc = DocumentMana…

Dynamo 2.13 Get all Spec Types

Hi, here an example [image] import clr import sys #import Revit API clr.AddReference('RevitAPI') import Autodesk from Autodesk.Revit.DB import * prop_infos = clr.GetClrType(SpecTypeId).GetProperties() dict_forgeTypeId = {p.Name : p.GetGetMethod().Invoke(None, None) for p in prop_infos} OUT = dict_forgeTypeId there may be a simpler method without going through .Net reflection

The farthest I have found is ForgeTypeId. These SpecType objects, are they dynamo wrappers? I don’t see any in the documentation. static class SpecTypeId has a bunch of properties but they’re all ForgeTypeId. @c.poupin

@BimAmbit

documentation. static class SpecTypeId has a bunch of properties but they’re all ForgeTypeId.

That’s correct. SpecTypeId is a ForgeTypeId. Just a particular flavor of ForgeTypeId. These flavors include:

• DisciplineTypeId
• GroupTypeId
• ParameterTypeId
• SpecTypeId
• SymbolTypeId

The dynamo Spec Types is just giving you the same as the Revit api SpectTypeId.. If you run that node into a ForgeType.TypeId node - you’ll see the string associated with the ForgeTypeId.

Thanks,but what I am looking for is the Spec Types to use in the node

I think this is what you’re looking for…

import Autodesk
import clr
clr.AddReference("RevitNodes")
from Revit.Elements import SpecType

spec = Autodesk.Revit.DB.SpecTypeId.Area.TypeId
spectype = SpecType.ByTypeId(Autodesk.Revit.DB.SpecTypeId.Area.TypeId)

OUT = spectype

[CarlosCMB]

Hey Aaron, thanks for your answer. I get this error message with your code. do you you know why it could be?

[CarlosCMB]

I used this code instead an it works

import clr

clr.AddReference("RevitAPI")
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import SpecTypeId

clr.AddReference("RevitNodes")
from Revit.Elements import SpecType

spectype = SpecType.ByTypeId(SpecTypeId.Area.TypeId)

OUT = spectype

[CarlosCMB]

I’m running now into another problem. Some SpecTypes are not available in the Class SpecTypeId. Any thoughts?
