[image] How come my Category.ByName isn’t giving me Ceilings and Roofs? I don’t want the analytical ones.

They don’t change based on the project, that is the built in category id. I think they can only change depending on the Revit version (but I don’t think the most used ones have changed). You can find the list of categoryIds here: https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles…

FWIW monocle uses Category.ById because the team broke this a while back.
