How to retrieve a FamilyParameter's group name?

Anonymous — Fri, 16 Sep 2016 09:47:11 GMT

How to retrieve a FamilyParameter's group name? I tried it with InternalDefinition.BuiltInParameter.ToString() but I end up with not very user-friendly names, and some groups have "INVALID" value there (e.g. group "Other"). Anyone can help?

Dear Krug,

_elm is Family instance of your family.

// This is for Instance Parameter
ParameterSet ps = _elm.Parameters;
foreach (Parameter p in ps)
{

p.Definition.Name;
p.Definition.ParameterType ;
p.Definition.ParameterGroup;
_elm.Category.Name;
p.StorageType;

}

// For Type Parameter
Element elmTmp = _elm.Document.GetElement(_elm.GetTypeId());
if (elmTmp != null)
{
ParameterSet psType = elmTmp.Parameters;
foreach (Parameter p in psType)
{

p.Definition.Name;
p.Definition.ParameterType ;
p.Definition.ParameterGroup;
_elm.Category.Name;
p.IsReadOnly;
p.StorageType;

}
}

i hope this will help you.
