Dynamo C# - Getting al rooms with c#

Getting al rooms with c#

Description

To get all rooms in Revit, you may be first try to filter elements by Room type, however this will yield no results. Instead you will have to check against SpatialElement type and check if it’s a room

Solution

 FilteredElementCollector filteredElementCollector 
                = new FilteredElementCollector(aDocument);

            filteredElementCollector.OfClass(typeof(SpatialElement));

            IList<Room> m_RoomList = new List<Room>();

            foreach (SpatialElement room in filteredElementCollector)
                if (room is Room)
                    m_RoomList.Add((Room)room);

FilteredElementCollector filteredElementCollector

= new FilteredElementCollector(aDocument);

filteredElementCollector.OfClass(typeof(SpatialElement));

IList<Room> m_RoomList = new List<Room>();

foreach (SpatialElement room in filteredElementCollector)

if (room is Room)

m_RoomList.Add((Room)room);
