How to get PartType of CableTray fitting or Conduit fitting

[jlpgy]

Hi developers:

For MEP fitting elements, ther are all of type FamilyInstance.

I can access FamilyInstance.MEPModel property. For Duct and Pipe fittings, MEPModel is of type MechanicalFitting which has a property named as 'PartType'. But for CableTrya and Conduit fittings, MEPModel property is of type MEPModel, and it has not 'PartType'.

How can I determine the part type of a CableTray fitting or a Conduit fitting?

Hi,

does this help?

Parameter partTypeParam = familyInstance.Symbol.Family.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.FAMILY_CONTENT_PART_TYPE);

if (partTypeParam != null)
{
	PartType partType = (PartType)partTypeParam.AsInteger(); // e.g. 13 = Connection, 7 = Transition
}
