Invalid ID with ID to Elements

Nathan_Nivill · November 16, 2016, 10:41am

Hi everybody !

I’m having some issues with the node “ID to Elements”. I don’t understand why I have an “Invalid ID” error !

These nodes come from the archi-lab package !

Thanks !
Nathan

Hi @Nathan_Nivill,

try this : (all nodes are OOTB in dynamo 1.2 except for Id to Element)

You could use dynamo’s internal element selection methods. For some unknown reason the Dynamo team decided they should not be visible to the library:

github.com

DynamoDS/DynamoRevit/blob/Revit2017/src/Libraries/RevitNodes/Elements/InternalUtilities/ElementSelector.cs#L11


using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Autodesk.DesignScript.Runtime;
using Autodesk.Revit.DB;
using RevitServices.Elements;
using RevitServices.Persistence;


namespace Revit.Elements
{
    [IsVisibleInDynamoLibrary(false)]
    public class ElementSelector
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Get a collection of wrapped elements from the current document by type
        /// </summary>
        /// <typeparam name="T">The type of the Revit element to select</typeparam>
        /// <param name="isRevitOwned">Whether the returned object should be revit owned or not</param>
        /// <returns></returns>
        internal static IEnumerable<Element> ByType<T>(bool isRevitOwned) where T : Autodesk.Revit.DB.Element
        {

Hello ! Thanks for your answers !

Mostafa, I tried to duplicate your script but I got the same error “Invalid ID” …
After that I found an other node from the Hot Gear Package : “Revit ID to Element” and it actually works … Don’t know the difference beetween this node and the one from archi lab …
I didn’t try your method Dimitar but I will keep it in mind if I have an other problem of the same kind !

Thanks for your help !

Nathan
