How do I get the faces of mullions using python?
(So in OOTB-style: mullion.ByElement - Element.Faces)
Using
cwmi = cw.CurtainGrid.GetMullionIds()
cwe = []
for e in cwmi:
cwe.append(doc.GetElement(e))
for e in cwe:
cwegeometry = []
for obj in e.get_Geometry(opt):
cwegeometry.append(obj)
This gives me GeometryInstances … which I can’t use for getting faces of them?
Anyone a clue?
Have you experimented with the GetInstanceGeometry() method?

yup! @Andreas_Dieckmann
I actually did, and threw away that piece of coding … because to me it seemed still unable to get the references / faces of that …
Api docs didn’t make it any better either …
sigh I think I found it … forgot to indent my GetInstanceGeometry loop so it looped the wrong list … I need some coffee I guess.
GetInstacneGeometry return Geometry Element which I can further use for faces.
