Shared Parameter Group

[Anonymous]

I am looking to get all shared parameters from a certain group; for instance all the parameters that are part of the Wall Parameters group.

I currently have the shared parameters read, and can read the property for the name.  I don't see any property that relates to the group, or group name. I am using the LookUp and exploring the database, specifically the shared parameter elements. Even looking there, I can't seem to track down the Group that the parameter is in. Is this possible to obtain?

The parameter group is in the definition. For example:

if (p.Definition.ParameterGroup == BuiltInParameterGroup.PG_GEOMETRY)

Thanks, but that gives me the BuiltInGroup that the parameter is assigned to on the category level, not the Shared Parameter Group.

You are looking for the organisation of the shared parameterfile. This code gets all the definitions for a ParameterDefinitionGroup.

                DefinitionFile FParamFile =  doc.Application.OpenSharedParameterFile();
                DefinitionGroup FParamGroup = null;
                string SearchName = "Wall Parameters";
                using (IEnumerator<DefinitionGroup> enumerator = FParamFile.Groups.GetEnumerator())
                {
                    while (enumerator.MoveNext())
                    {
                        DefinitionGroup current = enumerator.Current;
                        if (current.Name ==  SearchName) FParamGroup = current;
                    }
                }
                Definitions paramDefs = FParamGroup.Definitions;

Thank you.  This is what I was looking for.
