Updating Revit types - BHoM/Revit_Toolkit GitHub Wiki

In many scenarios, one may want to update the type of a Revit element previously pulled to BHoM. There are three ways to achieve that:

  • setting the name of the defining property of a BHoM object (e.g. Construction of a wall or Property of a beam) to the name of the desired element type using SetProperty method - this is the standard way leveraging the name matching mechanism as explained in Conversion to Revit section
  • setting the Type parameter to the name of the desired new type using SetRevitParameter
  • setting the Type parameter to the object representing the desired new type using SetRevitParameter (the name will be extracted from the provided object)

Each of the above should yield same result, leading to updating the element type in Revit.
