Project information

In my project information I have a zone:

I’m trying to extract it using Python:

import clr
clr.AddReference("RevitServices")
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager

doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
projinfo = doc.ProjectInformation

elementlist = []

elementlist.append(projinfo.OrganizationName)
elementlist.append(projinfo.OrganizationDescription)
elementlist.append(projinfo.BuildingName)
elementlist.append(projinfo.Zone/System)

OUT = elementlist

But I get the error “Project Information object has no attribute, Zone”

Am I correct in my assumption that it’s the / that’s messing it all up?
Should I glare at the BIM manager?

So I’ve extracted the zone like this instead.

But question still remains… Is it the slash (/) that’s causing the issue or is it something else?

import clr
clr.AddReference("RevitServices")
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
clr.AddReference("RevitAPI")
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import StorageType
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
projinfo = doc.ProjectInformation


zoneSystemParam = projinfo.LookupParameter("Zone/System")
if zoneSystemParam.StorageType == StorageType.String:
    OUT = zoneSystemParam.AsString()

Attributes are not the same as parameters. Some builtin “parameters” are actually attributes or properties of the object. Any custom parameter you add is just a parameter and has to be treated as such. You need to get the parameter from the Project Information parameters.

projinfo.LookupParameter("Zone/System")

EDIT: Looks like you figured out how to solve it, but the explanation above hopefully details why.
