Getting attributes from import CAD block

[Anonymous]

Hello people,

I came from this post:

https://forums.autodsk.com/t5/revit-api-forum/reading-cad-linked-object/td-p/7063811

Finally we are able to get blocks from an imported cad file into our model... now, I would like to get block attributes. Using the method GetInstanceGeometry I only can access to the "lines" that form a block, and not the attributes.

Anyone found something useful???

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Anonymous,

See this post:

It is being discussed at the moment. It refers to text, but I would imagine attributes are treated similarly.

Have you found a solution?
