@RubenVivancos ,

maybe you can change the methode how to get these Elements… here an example:

import clr

clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
from Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure import *

clr.AddReference('RevitAPIUI')
from Autodesk.Revit.UI import *

clr.AddReference('System')
from System.Collections.Generic import List

clr.AddReference('RevitNodes')
import Revit
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.GeometryConversion)
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.Elements)

clr.AddReference('RevitServices')
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager

doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
uidoc=DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentUIApplication.ActiveUIDocument

filter_columns = ElementStructuralTypeFilter(StructuralType.Column)
filter_Braces = ElementStructuralTypeFilter(StructuralType.Brace)
filter_nonStruc = ElementStructuralTypeFilter(StructuralType.NonStructural)
filter_footing = ElementStructuralTypeFilter(StructuralType.Footing)
filter_unknown = ElementStructuralTypeFilter(StructuralType.UnknownFraming)
filter_beams = ElementStructuralTypeFilter(StructuralType.Beam)

all_columns = FilteredElementCollector(doc).WherePasses(filter_columns).WhereElementIsNotElementType().ToElements()
all_Braces = FilteredElementCollector(doc).WherePasses(filter_Braces).WhereElementIsNotElementType().ToElements()
all_nonStruc = FilteredElementCollector(doc).WherePasses(filter_nonStruc).WhereElementIsNotElementType().ToElements()
all_footing = FilteredElementCollector(doc).WherePasses(filter_footing).WhereElementIsNotElementType().ToElements()
all_unknown = FilteredElementCollector(doc).WherePasses(filter_unknown).WhereElementIsNotElementType().ToElements()
all_beams = FilteredElementCollector(doc).WherePasses(filter_beams).WhereElementIsNotElementType().ToElements()

OUT = all_columns, all_Braces, all_nonStruc, all_footing, all_unknown, all_beams

OST_StructConnections

thanks, I did not see this. also can be resolved by using the category Id alternatively:

collector = FilteredElementCollector(doc, view.Id).OfClass(FamilyInstance).WherePasses(ElementCategoryFilter(ElementId(-2009030)))
