Hi,

you could use ElementTransformUtils.CopyElement to copy DuctInsulation or DuctInsulationType from another Revit file to your target project file.

Hi,

Thanks for your Reply.

I tried your suggestion but get stuck in passing ElementID(elementToCopy).

ElementTransformUtils.CopyElement(Document document, ElementId elementToCopy, XYZ translation);

from where we can get these value.

As my document does not contains any default DuctInsulationType/DuctInsulation...

please suggest.

Thanks

Hi,

you have to try out which CopyElement overload fits, there are some samples just in this Revit API forum.

Also, you must use this method the right way:

Prepare a source file which contains your Element or Type.

If you have your Element, it has a Type automatically.

You need to populate this "template" file manually.

After this, copy this known (!) Element into your empty target project file.
