Hi!

This is Autodesk.Revit.ApplicationServices.Application class method. It is located in RevitAPI.dll

This method is not static, you should first of all get Application object, for example from command data:

public Result Execute(ExternalCommandData commandData, ref string message, ElementSet elements)
...
var app = commandData.Application.Application;

or just document

var uiapp = commandData.Application;
var uidoc = uiapp.ActiveUIDocument;
var doc = uidoc.Document;

var app = doc.Application;

And only then call this method

Dear Philippe,

Thank you for your query.

You can read this StackOverflow thread which explains how to proceed:

There are only a handful of Revit API .NET assemblies to explore, so it should be a matter of minutes.

I hope this helps.

Once you have answered your question, you can share the result with us, if you think it is useful.

Thank you!

Best regards,

Jeremy
