How can get the Floor elevation and Beam elevaton?.

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone:

1. How can get the Floor elevation and Beam elevation?. I need the Double value.
2. How can get the nether elevation the same element (Floor)?

Thanks.

Dear Frank,

I am happy to see that you are using RevitLookup to explore the database.

It enables you to answer these question yourself, if you look more closely.

In this case, I would suggest something like this:

  Floor floor = ... ;
  Level level = doc.GetElement( floor.LevelId ) as Level;
  double elevation = level.Elevation;

Good luck!

Cheers,

Jeremy

Dear Jeremy:

Revit RevitLookup is a excellent tools and newly I am learning to use it.

About my problem: First I need get Beam Elevation but not works the code. Which I am doing bad?

The code:

if (category == "Structural Framing")
                {
                    FilteredElementCollector collector = new FilteredElementCollector(m_revit.ActiveUIDocument.Document).OfClass(typeof(FamilyInstance));                    
                   
                    int i = 0;
                    foreach (FamilyInstance fi in collector)
