Rebar Creation with rebar shape

[pyaezone]

Hi,

I want to get al l the RebarShape Types in the project and use one of them to create rebar using Rebar.CreateFromRebarShape.

I could get all rebar shape as elements using filteredElementCollector with BuiltInCategory.OST_RebarShape.
However, I cannot cast this element into RebarShape and as a result it is always null and cannot create using CreateFromRebarShape.

Is there any way I can achieve that?

Thanks

As a first step, I would suggest searching the Revit SDK samples for CreateFromRebarShape. I see it in the NewRebar and MultiplanarRebar samples. You should always perform two steps whenever you encounter a question like this:

• Read the Revit API documentation: https://www.revitapidocs.com 
• Search the Revit SDK samples: https://www.autodesk.com/developer-network/platform-technologies/revit
