Python - WallType - can't get the walltype Name

Revit

I would suggest you do something as shown in the image, and i have attached the code below as well.

This works by getting the wall types, then converts it into a Dynamo element via the “ToDSType” method then getting its name :slight_smile:

import clr

clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.GeometryConversion)

#Checks if input is list, if not makes its a list
if isinstance(IN[0],list):
	wallsinput=UnwrapElement(IN[0])
else:
	wallsinput=[UnwrapElement(IN[0])]
		
output=[]

for wall in wallsinput:
	#Gets wall type
	wallType = wall.WallType
	
	#Converts it to a Dynamo Element then gets its name
	wallName = wallType.ToDSType(False).Name
	
	#Outputs the wall type and its name
	output.append([wallType,wallName])
OUT = output
