Retrieve dimensions of a plumbing fixture (for instance a bathtube) in C#

[hauvillec]

Hello everyone ! 

Does anyone knows how to retrieve the length and the width of a plumbing fixture such as a bathtub or a shower tray ? I know how to do this for doors, windows etc.... but not for this case.

Thanks in advance ! (it's quite urgent 😉 )

There are many possible ways to achieve this, so I cannot address all of them off-hand.

The best way for you to discover the optimal solution for yourself is to use RevitLookup to explore your model, the plumbing element, its properties and parameters.

If you are in luck, the required values are family parameters, either on the family type or the family instance, and you can simply grab them from there.

A more complex approach is to determine the width and length from the fixture element geometry. Depending on the quality of the family definition, this approach may be more reliable, because it really represents the true model geometry.

I hope this helps.

Thans for your response ! 

Unfortunatly I can't see any dimension info with Revit Lookup...
