How to access a Railing's slope options through API?

We can select a railing's slope option through Revit UI(manually):

"Edit Path"->pick a sketch line->then pick an option (By Host, Flat, or Sloped) on Revit UI.

 

Can I do this through Revit API? If yes, how?

 

I notice there is an Enumeration called "RailingSlopeOption " in Revit API documents, but cannot figure out how to use it. 

 

Anyone can help or give some suggestions,

Thanks.

hi, 

I saw RailingSlopeOption in Revit API assembly, however I didn't find any API using it.

I'm communicating with engineering team on this, will keep you updated on any progress.

Per communication with engineering team, it's confirmed railing slope was not supported by API yet.

 

I am sorry to say that there is currently no API access to this functionality.


The engineering team already had filed wish issue item REVIT-74218 [As an API user, I need methods for Railing path height modification, so that I can define slope of the railing] as this issue requires exploration and possibly a modification to our software. Please make a note of this number for future reference.


You are welcome to request an update on the status of this issue or to provide us with additional information at any time quoting this wish list item number.


This issue is important to me. What can I do to help?
