Yesterday I needed to know which of the ProjectInfo parameters are actually built in and can be relied on to be found in any Autodesk Revit Architecture document. Of course I fired up RPS and had a go at finding a solution. Here is what I came up with:
import clr
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
clr.AddReference('mscorlib')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
from System import Enum
doc = __revit__.ActiveUIDocument.Document
pi = doc.ProjectInformation
params = list(pi.Parameters)
builtInParameterIds = set([p.Id.IntegerValue for p in params if p.Id.IntegerValue < 0])
for id in builtInParameterIds:
parameter = pi.get_Parameter(Enum.ToObject(BuiltInParameter, id))
name = Enum.GetName(BuiltInParameter, id)
if parameter:
print name, ': ', parameter.AsString()
else:
print name, ': <NULL>'
There are some aspects of this script I'd like to point out, since they might help you writing your own scripts:
This gives you access to the System.Enum type. The BuiltInParameter enumeration has to be marshalled back and forth to IronPython integers using Enum:
- Enum.ToObject(BuiltInParameter, id) returns the enum constant that has the integer value id
- Enum.GetName(BuiltInParameter, id) returns the name of the enum constant (handy for printing to the user)
Also note that all the predefined parameters in Revit have negative ids - that is how we find them:
The output on a test project on my computer is:
PROJECT_ISSUE_DATE : Projekt Datum GBXML_EDIT_DATA_PARAM : <NULL> PROJECT_STATUS : Projekt Status CLIENT_NAME : Bauherr PROJECT_ADDRESS : Projektadresse PROJECT_NAME : Projekt Name PROJECT_NUMBER : 01212
