access ID and Unique ID values for instance families using Python

[studio-a-int]

I'm trying to extract the values for  ID and Unique ID for Generic Models.

I select all the entities and unwrap via Python.

If I try:

I_D =[]
for i in gen_models:
    I_D.append(i.LookupParameter("Unique ID").AsString())

OUT = I_D

is giving me the error:

"

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'AsString'

"

if I try:

OUT = UnwrapElement(gen_models).Parameters

I get the list with all parameters as "Autodesk.Revit.DB.Parameter"

How do I access the value for each parameter?

Help greatly appreciated!

This data is not stored in a parameter, but provided directly as Element properties.

The element id is retuned by the Id property, and the unique id by the UniqueId one.

Cheers,

Jeremy -

thanks for your reply.

Apologize for not posting earlier, I had family issues.

Using Python I can pull the Id and UniqueId using few lines, as in the below ex. for Conduits and Conduit Fittings.

Thanks for your help!

con = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfCategory(BuiltInCategory.OST_Conduit).WhereElementIsNotElementType().ToElements()
con_fit = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfCategory(BuiltInCategory.OST_ConduitFitting).WhereElementIsNotElementType().ToElements()
con_ID = [i.Id for i in con]
con_U_ID =[i.UniqueId for i in con]
con_fit_ID =[i.Id for i in con_fit]
con_fit_U_ID =[i.UniqueId for i in con_fit]
