ROOM_CALCULATION_POINT parameter

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am trying to read out the parameter that gives the room the object is in, the ROOM_CALCULATION_POINT parameter.

I want to apply this on doors and families.

I can read he other parameters of these object, but get stuck by the options SpatialElementCalculationPoint and SpatialElementFromToCalculationPoints.

Can anybody give me some direction how I can do this?

A bit of code would be nice.

I would really appreciate it,

Tiny

Hi Tiny,

You can get the family object, and get the family instance. Then get the parameter(ROOM_CALCULATION_POINT).
And change its value.

Here is the code fragment

<code>
//doc is the family document.
Family fam = doc.OwnerFamily;
Parameter param = fam.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.ROOM_CALCULATION_POINT);


<code>

Thank you for your reaction.



If I understand you correctly, this is the code to set the Parameter in the
Family.



When I set the parameter, with what code can I read it out for all the
families and door/windows in the model.

The parameters that I want to read are the Room name and number.



Thanks,

Tiny

Hi Tiny,

Not quite sure I got your idea.

Answer your latest question:
Using the following code you can get the parameter of ROOM_CALCULATION_POINT.

<code>
[TransactionAttribute(Autodesk.Revit.Attributes.TransactionMode.Manual)]
public class RevitCommand : IExternalCommand
{
public Result Execute(ExternalCommandData commandData, ref string messages, ElementSet elements)
{

UIApplication app = commandData.Application;
Document doc = app.ActiveUIDocument.Document;


Selection sel = app.ActiveUIDocument.Selection;
Reference ref1=sel.PickObject(ObjectType.Element, "please pick a window/door");
FamilyInstance inst = doc.GetElement(ref1) as FamilyInstance;
if(inst == null)
{
messages = "No family instance was picked";
return Result.Failed;
}

Family family = inst.Symbol.Family;
Parameter param1 = family.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.ROOM_CALCULATION_POINT);
if (param1 != null)
{
//Get the parameter value.
}


return Result.Succeeded ;
}
}
<code>

Which element/object do you want to get the Room name and number? from the window or door? Are you trying to get the room nam name and room number from a given door/window?

Hi!

I´m quite new to coding and Macro Manager in Revit, but is it possible to have a parameter for the doors which would pretty much indicate the following: Room Calculation Point TO = Room name. So if I create a door tag, I could add a label indicating where the door is opening to.

I´m using Revit 2016.
