from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument

#The inputs to this node will be stored as a list in the IN variables.

idelem = "13974"

id = ElementId(int(idelem))

element = doc.GetElement(id)
element = UnwrapElement(element)

if element :
    test = "true"

vec=element.FacingOrientation
position=element.Location.Point
origi=doc.GetElement(id).Location.Point
#position=element.Point.ToPoint()

moa.append([element, test, vec, position, origi])

#Assign your output to the OUT variable.
OUT= moa
