Element Conversion Methods

Overview​

To work with elements obtained via FilteredElementCollector in Dynamo, they need to be converted to types that can be manipulated in the Dynamo environment.

Methods​

  1. ToElements()

    • Converts elements to a type that can be manipulated from Dynamo.

  2. ToElementIds()

    • Provides identifiers of elements as a list of integers.

Example​

  1. Convert elements: 
    Round_column = FilteredElementCollector(doc).WherePasses(Filter).WhereElementIsNotElementType().ToElements()
    Output = []
    for c in Round_column:
        if c.Name == "~300mm":
            Output.append(c)
