ParameterSet

Note

These are used internally by all Classes that inherit from rpw.db.element, but can be used on their own.

class rpw.db.ParameterSet(element)

Bases: rpw.base.BaseObjectWrapper

Allows you to treat an element’s parameters as a dictionary.

This is used internally by Element Wrapper. An instance of this class is returned on the parameters attribute of wrapped elements.

>>> element.parameters.all()
>>> element.parameters['Comments'].value
>>> element.parameters['Comments'].type

ParameterSet can also be used for setting values: >>> element.parameters[‘Comments’].value = ‘Something’

>>> parameters = ParameterSet(Element)

_revit_object

Type:DB.Element

__getitem__(param_name)

Get’s parameter by name.

Returns:The first parameter found with a matching name (wrapper), Return type:Parameter Raises:RpwParameterNotFound

__init__(element)

Parameters:element (DB.Element) – Element to create ParameterSet

__setitem__(param_name, value)

Sets value to element’s parameter. This is a shorcut to using parameters[‘Name’].value = value

>>> element.parameters['Height'] = value

all

Flat list of wrapped parameter elements

Type:Returns

to_dict()

WIP: Returns a Serializable Dictionary

Parameter

class rpw.db.Parameter(parameter)

Bases: rpw.base.BaseObjectWrapper

Primarily for internal use by rpw.db.Element, but can be used on it’s own.

>>> parameter = Parameter(DB.Parameter)
>>> parameter.type
<type: str>
>>> parameter.value
'Some String'
>>> parameter.name
'Parameter Name'
>>> parameter.builtin
Revit.DB.BuiltInParameter.SOME_BUILT_IN_NAME

_revit_object

Type:DB.Parameter

Note

Parameter Wrapper handles the following types:

• Autodesk.Revit.DB.StorageType.String
• Autodesk.Revit.DB.StorageType.Double
• Autodesk.Revit.DB.StorageType.ElementId
• Autodesk.Revit.DB.StorageType.Integer
• Autodesk.Revit.DB.StorageType.None

__init__(parameter)

Parameter Wrapper Constructor

Parameters:DB.Parameter – Parameter to be wrapped Returns:Wrapped Parameter Class Return type:Parameter

builtin

Returns the BuiltInParameter name of Parameter. Same as DB.Parameter.Definition.BuiltIn

Usage:

>>> element.parameters['Comments'].builtin_name
Revit.DB.BuiltInParameter.ALL_MODEL_INSTANCE_COMMENTS

Returns:BuiltInParameter Enumeration Member Return type:Revit.DB.BuiltInParameter

builtin_id

ElementId of BuiltIn

Usage:

>>> wall.parameters['Unconnected Height'].builtin_id
Revit.DB.BuiltInParameter.WALL_USER_HEIGHT_PARAM

name

Returns Parameter name

>>> element.parameters['Comments'].name
>>> 'Comments'

to_dict()

Returns Parameter as a dictionary. Included properties are:

• name: Parameter.Definition.Name
• type: Parameter.StorageType.Name
• value: Uses best parameter method based on StorageType
• value_string: Parameter.AsValueString

type

Returns the Python Type of the Parameter

>>> element.parameters['Height'].type
<type: float>

Returns:Python Built in type Return type:(type)

value

>>> desk.parameters['Height'].value
>>> 3.0

Sets Parameter Value (must be in Transaction Context):

>>> desk.parameters['Height'].value = 3

Returns:parameter value in python type Return type:(type)

Note

Parameter value setter automatically handles a few type castings:

• Storage is str and value is None; value is converted to blank_string
• Storage is str and value is any; value is converted to string
• Storage is ElementId and value is None; value is converted to ElemendId.InvalidElementId
• Storage is int and value is float; value is converted to int
• Storage is float and value is int; value is converted to float

Type:Gets Parameter Value

value_string

Ensure Human Readable String Value
