Where can I find a list of Category IDs?

I'm looking for a list of ID's of all the Revit categories (7-digit number).

I have found a good list already, but there are still some categories missing. For instance: conduits and several other Systems categories.

Revit Category ID's

 

I'm updating a .txt file based on the Dutch NL/SfB coding and would like the codes arranged according to the Revit categories, when assigning the SfB codes as an Assembly Code. The .txt. file is similar to UniformatClassifications.txt (with Category ID at the end of each line).

Have look at THIS blog post on the buildingcoder website. It has some code to get these numbers. Further down the post there is also a text file containing many of the category id's.

As addition, It is also possible to use Dynamo to get the list (and if needed exportedl)

Hi,

I didn't find the Get Categories in Dynamo 0.9 which was released a few days ago.

Could you please detail a bit on how to produce a Category list in Dynamo with some equivalent node?

Thank You,

@MichaelEmngler2285 The "Get Categories" is a custom node, probably downloaded with a package.

Open Dynamo > Under Library click Add > Search For a Package.

Or you can try a create your own script.

Hi,

Can you be more specific?

What is the Package's name?

Have any clue regarding the structure of the script?

Thank you,
