Hey Guys,

i am a beginner in Pythonshell, i found the introduction on GitHub for the doors, but the "door.Symbol.LookupParameter("Type Name").AsString()) does not work. The letters do not appears in Bolt type.

I work with Revit 2022. Do you have any idea what is wrong?

Best regards

Hi!

Actually I do not quite understand what your problem is. But in case of "Type Name" parameter I suggest using BuiltInParameter enumeration instead of parameter name to avoid problems with Revit localization:

>>> door.Symbol.Parameter[BuiltInParameter.ALL_MODEL_TYPE_NAME].AsString() '0915 x 2134mm'

P.S. don't forget to import BuiltInParameter before using it in the code.

from Autodesk.Revit.DB import BuiltInParameter
