How to get the elements associated with each row in a Schedule using Revit API?

[mespinosagKJG49]

Hi everyone,

I'm working with the Revit API in C# and I need some help understanding how to map elements to individual rows in a Schedule.

So far, I can do the following:

• I can get the rows of the schedule:

   ViewSchedule viewSchedule = viewSchedules.First(vs => vs.Name == schedule.Name);

   TableData tableData = viewSchedule.GetTableData();
   TableSectionData body = tableData.GetSectionData(SectionType.Body);

• I can get the scheduled elements:

ICollection<ElementId> elementIds = viewSchedule.GetDependentElements(null);

 However, what I really need is to figure out how to get the element (or elements) associated with each specific row in the schedule.

Is there a direct way to do this in the API?

Any help or example would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

As far as I know you can't directly get the element(s) associated with specified rows in a schedule.

GetDependentElements, will return more elements than needed.

Use a FilteredElementCollector and set as ViewId the schedule

Schedules in this respect behave like any other view so you get all elements listed in the schedule

Note:

- selection doesn't work directly, unless you activate a model view after selecting rows

- For Area and Rooms the "Not placed etc" setting is ignored and all are retrieved (with respect to filters)

To id the elements for a Row you would need to rebuild the filtering and grouping/sorting of the schedule, get all parameter fields etc. in you're app

And then compare that to the values in the rows....and then it may or may not be accurate.

try "GetCellText" from the ViewSchedule itself. Dont know if you can actually get this info, but heres what Revit Lookup is showing:
