How to get the parameter Discipline with Dynamo/python?
I think is called in API something like Utility Label of the parameter but I only get the Group name under the parameter reside, but not idea of how to get the Discipline.
Just for curiosity: Is that property of the parameter only applicable to Project Parameters/Shared Parameters or is it implemented as well with the builtin parameters of Revit?
@ruben.romero Not sure what you need but see if this takes you somewhere:
import clr
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
element = UnwrapElement(IN[0])
parameterString = IN[1]
parameter = element.LookupParameter(parameterString)
unitType = parameter.Definition.UnitType
discipline = UnitUtils.GetUnitGroup(unitType)
OUT = discipline
import clr
import System
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
OUT = System.Enum.GetValues(UnitGroup)
is possible to get the parameters discipline with the input as the parameter list instead of feeding with the element and the parameter names? Thanks
I am trying to get something like OOTB nodes are doing like those examples:
If you have parameter as input then you can use like that
unfortunatelly it does not work
Warning: IronPythonEvaluator.EvaluateIronPythonScript operation failed.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 8, in
AttributeError: ‘List[object]’ object has no attribute ‘Definition’
You have to loop over parameters.
unitType = [p.Definition.UnitType for p in parameter]
discipline = [UnitUtils.GetUnitGroup(i) for i in unitType]
still same result as before, identical Warning
Do you have nested lists in Element.Parameters?
Ok I see the problem. We need RevitAPI Object but we feed with RevitElements.Parameter.
We can do like that: Parameter.Name as Input and then Using LookupParameter with looping.
@ruben.romero You can do something like this if you are working with all parameters of element(s).
import clr
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI','RevitNodes')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
import Revit
toList = lambda x : UnwrapElement(x) if hasattr(x, '__iter__') else UnwrapElement([x])
OUT = [[UnitUtils.GetUnitGroup(para.Definition.UnitType) for para in elems.Parameters] for elems in toList(IN[0])]
that is awesome, although is possible to ask from the parameter ID or parameter element, instead from the element?
I never tried going that way but I think it should be possible.
