Convert Selection to FilteredElementConnector?

[wils02]

Okay here goes nothing:

I am trying to implement the PickBox example that is commonly shown http://help.autodesk.com/view/RVT/2014/RUS/?guid=GUID-97372731-5ACA-4EB7-ABDF-7E6B56640DA2

with the idea to select multiple elements at the same time and then use a FilteredElementCollector to make sure I only retain supply air terminals.

For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to do this, and any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello Wils02:

One of the FilteredElementCollector constructors takes a list of element Ids. If such a list is provided then the collector will filter the given elements only, Thus if you get a list of elements from the Selection object, pass it over to the collector. That should do the trick you're after.

AWesome thanks for the reply. That makes sense and I will give that a shot.
