How to access loaded rebar shapes

[Anonymous]

Hello All,
This is my first time using CreateFromRebarShape Method.
How can I access a loaded rebar shape in doc?

For rebartypes, I found an old example using "doc.RebarBarTypes" but I can not even find that property in the API document. Do we have something like doc.RebarShapes?

Thanks

Your loading process adds new elements to the database, I assume.

You could track those newly added elements by subscribing to the DocumentChanged method like we do in this example tracking elements added by the PromptForFamilyInstancePlacement method:

Alternatively, you can simply make a note of the largest element id before loading, and then retrieve all larger element ids afterwards.

Here are other methods and tools to use to research how to solve a Revit API programming task:
