Translating coordinates to site coordinates

It’s not a list so you can’t access it like one. First thing that comes back is Enumerable which means you can call a “for” loop on it:

for i in doc.ProjectLocations

or more pythonic:

[x for x in doc.ProjectLocations]

Now, what you will get back is a list of ProjectLocation objects. If you need their offsets like EastWest or NorthSouth you need to actually query their SiteLocation and since that is an indexer, it will need a point value as input called like this:

position = location.GetProjectPosition[XYZ(0,0,0)]`

Then you have an object that you can call for Angle, NorthSouth etc. Here’s a full code:

# Import RevitAPI
import clr
clr.AddReference("RevitAPI")
import Autodesk
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *

# Import DocumentManager and TransactionManager
clr.AddReference("RevitServices")
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument

def GetValues(loc):
	pos = loc.ProjectPosition[XYZ(0,0,0)]
	angle = pos.Angle
	ew = pos.EastWest
	e = pos.Elevation
	ns = pos.NorthSouth
	return [angle, ew, ns, e]
	
locations = doc.ProjectLocations

#Assign your output to the OUT variable.
OUT = [GetValues(x) for x in locations]
