```
import clr

#Import the Revit API
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
import Autodesk
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *

#Start scripting here:

walls = UnwrapElement(IN[0])

output = []

for i in walls:
	output.append(UnitUtils.ConvertFromInternalUnits(i.Width, DisplayUnitType.DUT_MILLIMETERS))

OUT = output

```

I was convinced @Andreas_Dieckmann had this in his portfolio 🙂

I can see theres one in Steam but it returns the width in meters:
