How to get Door and Window parameter in the Wall

[Anonymous]

Dear all,

Please help me.

How can I get the parameter of the Door and Window in the wall?

Because I want to create Steels boundary around these items and follow their Width and Height.

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous !
the Wall class inherits from HostObject class so you can retrieve all the hosted elements on your wall (including doors and windows instances)
in the code if you have (Wall w;)
you can do:

w.FindInserts(true,true,true,true);

It is unclear to me what you mean by "get the parameter of the Door and Window in the wall".

It is definitely possible to access the doors and windows hosted by the wall. 

One way is to retrieve all doors and windows is to use a filtered element collector on the wall's bounding box, retrieve the door and window elements and check their Host property to match the target wall.

That approach was described here back in 2008:

Nowadays, though, the wall has a property FindInserts to retrieve the elements it hosts:
