Are you sure that what you are trying to do is possible at all?

How do you achieve your goal manually through the user interface?

In general, the Revit API supports nothing that cannot be done in the UI.

Best regards,

Welcome to the Revit API!

You cannot do everything, because programming a BIM follows strict rules to ensure consistency.

This applies to the user interface as well, of course.

Therefore, it helps a lot to understand the Revit product in depth from an end user point of view before even thinking of programming anything for it.

Once you have that understanding, the best way to get started with the Revit API is to work through the getting started material:
