Known Issues

• Inconsisten Returns

  The library is not consistent with its return types. Sometimes a wrapped element is returned, sometimes is unwrapped. Since fixing this would be a breaking change, I am panning on fixing this on the next major release (2.0) The main change will be that attributes that were previously properties, will become a get method with an optional kwarg for wrapped:

  >>> # Previous
  >>> instance.family
  >>> # 2.0
  >>> instance.get_family()
  

• Case Sensitive ElementParameterFilter

  The boolean argument for case_sensitive string comparison has no effect

  I achieved the same result using the RevitPythonShell, so this could

  be either a RevitAPI bug, or a IronPython/API issue.

  To Reproduce:

  >>> Assumes an element with a parameter with string value: "Test"
  >>> param_id = SomeElementId
  >>> value = 'test'
  >>> case_sensitive = True
  

  >>> rule = DB.ParameterFilterRuleFactory.CreateBeginsWithRule(param_id, value, case_sensitive)
  >>> filter_rule = DB.ElementParameterFilter(rule)
  >>> col = FilteredElementCollector(doc).WherePasses(filter_rule)
  

  Expected:

  col would not include element with parameter with value ‘Test’ with case_sensitive is True.

  Result:

  col always is always case insensitive.
