Type Parametres from systemfamilies

Hi

Hope some one can help me to get type parameters from a system family

I can get the instants like Area & Volume, but not eg. Keynote

 

With compoment families do I use eg Door.Symbol.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.KEYNOTE_PARAM);

 

But I can't get it to work with system families like floors.

 

Where do I fail ?? 🙂

 

FilteredElementCollector FMFloorCollector = new FilteredElementCollector(OpenDoc);

FMFloorCollector.OfClass(typeof(Floor));

foreach (Floor FMFloor in FMFloorCollector)

{

Floor_Keynote = FMFloor.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.KEYNOTE_PARAM);

Floor_Family = FMFloor.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.ALL_MODEL_FAMILY_NAME);

Floor_Mark = FMFloor.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.ALL_MODEL_MARK);

Floor_Type = FMFloor.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.ALL_MODEL_TYPE_NAME);

Floor_Description = FMFloor.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.ALL_MODEL_DESCRIPTION);

Floor_Area = FMFloor.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.HOST_AREA_COMPUTED);

Floor_Volume = FMFloor.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.HOST_VOLUME_COMPUTED);

}

Dear Anders,

 

Thank you for your query.

 

I have no idea what you are doing wrong.

 

However, I can certainly tell you how to do it right:

 

Simply download the built-in parameter checker and see how it is done there:

It is available from the BipChecker GitHub repository:

I hope this helps.

 

Best regards,

 

Jeremy

Hi

 

I tried, but Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013, will not open the BipChecker.csproj file

 

 

I tried to run the addin in Revit 2016 (via the Add-in Managere (Manual mode), if that makes a diffirent 🙂

And got this message:

 

System.MissingMethodException: Method not found:

' Autodesk.Revit.DB.Element.get_parameter(System.AString)'.

at eseebase_AutoData.sharedParameterLoad.Execute(ExternalCommandDataCommandData, String& Message, elementSet elements) at AddinManager.AIMRunActtiveCommand(ExternalCommandData data, String& message, ElementSet elements)

 

Does that give you any ideas ? 🙂

Dear Anders,

 

How you run it should make no difference.

 

The get_Parameter method is obsolete.

 

It is actually an auto-generated wrapper for the Parameter property.

 

It has been replaced by the GetParameter method, which now no longer is a property.

 

Are you sure you are using the most up-to-date version?

 

Probably not.

 

Check here:

 

https://github.com/jeremytammik/BipChecker

 

The latest version is 

 

https://github.com/jeremytammik/BipChecker/releases/tag/2016.0.0.0

 

Cheers,

 

Jeremy

Anders,

 

It looks like you are trying to get information from instances of a floor. You are not having trouble with instance-based parameters, but you can't get type-based parameters. I would suggest that you find each instance, get the instance-based information, then find the type and get the type-based information.

 

I would suggest this:

 

foreach (Floor FMFloor in FMFloorCollector)
{
	//instance params
	Parameter Floor_Family = FMFloor.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.ALL_MODEL_FAMILY_NAME);
	Parameter Floor_Mark = FMFloor.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.ALL_MODEL_MARK);
	Parameter Floor_Type = FMFloor.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.ALL_MODEL_TYPE_NAME);
	Parameter Floor_Area = FMFloor.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.HOST_AREA_COMPUTED);
	Parameter Floor_Volume = FMFloor.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.HOST_VOLUME_COMPUTED);

	Element el = FMFloor as Element;
	ElementId typeid = el.GetTypeId();
	Element floortype = OpenDoc.GetElement(typeid);

	//type params
	Parameter Floor_Keynote = floortype.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.KEYNOTE_PARAM);
	Parameter Floor_Description = floortype.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.ALL_MODEL_DESCRIPTION);
}

 

Note that get_Parameter(string) is obsolete, but get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter) still works.

Hi

That worked

Thanks a lot 🙂
