Public Property
Code Example

IsReadOnly

Identifies if the object is read-only or modifiable.
(Inherited from APIObject)

---

Public Property
IsValidObject

Specifies whether the .NET object represents a valid Revit entity.

---

Public Property
UniqueID

This method will return the fabrication id. This represents the link between the Revit and the Steel Core element.

Remarks

Revit elements which can have fabrication information are:

• FamilyInstance (structural beams and columns).
• StructuralConnectionHandler elements associated to the connection.
• Specific steel connection elements (bolts, anchors, plates, etc). These connection elements will be of type element but with categories related to structural connections, for example:
  • OST_StructConnectionWelds
  • OST_StructConnectionHoles
  • OST_StructConnectionModifiers
  • OST_StructConnectionShearStuds
  • OST_StructConnectionBolts
  • OST_StructConnectionAnchors
  • OST_StructConnectionPlates
• Some concrete elements (walls, floors, concrete beams, …) when they are input elements to detailed steel connections.

The class also holds the link to the Steel Core elements.
