Id's of Area boundaries

Packages

Hi guys,

I would like to get the Id’s of my Area boundaries.

Im cleaning up my project-template and found that they are present in my template (bad), but i cant seem to find them easily.

Using Dynamo i can get a list of all Id’s with All elemets at Level or All elements of category.

All elements of Category needs a string input, so the simple question is, what is the string input for these boundaries, for “AreaBoundary” doesnt work.

Better still, where can i get a list of all categories for use in the string node.

Thank you

Marcel

Thank you Johannes, but have you tried your own solution on Areaboundaries?

Hey guys, this is very interesting to me. Is there a way to determine a specific area’s boundary lines? So if I wanted to get all the areas in my project (it would be nice if I could filter that by Area Scheme), and then create sublists of the boundaries per area, with the realization that the boundaries can be used to bound two Areas.

I hope my question make sense. I’m not referring to room objects, but to area objects.

For what it is worth: in Dynamo 1.0.0 (working in Revit 2016), the Category for Area Boundary lines is now called Lines - . It took me a while to find that, so I thought I would pass that along to anyone else who reads this thread.
