Level Class


Represents a Level within Autodesk Revit.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 18.0.0.0 (18.0.0.420)

Syntax

C#
public class Level : DatumPlane
Visual Basic
Public Class Level _
	Inherits DatumPlane
Visual C++
public ref class Level : public DatumPlane

Remarks

A Level is conceptually a horizontal rectangle of finite extents. It appears as a straight line in views that intersect the rectangle. The straight line represents the projection of the rectangle onto the view. The Name property can be used to retrieve the user visible name of the level that appears in the level bubble.

Examples

Copy C#
private void GetLevelInformation(Autodesk.Revit.DB.Element element)
{
    // Get the level object to which the element is assigned.
    if (element.LevelId.Equals(ElementId.InvalidElementId))
    {
        TaskDialog.Show("Revit","The element isn't based on a level.");
    }
    else
    {
        Level level = element.Document.GetElement(element.LevelId) as Level;

        // Format the prompt information(Name and elevation)
        String prompt = "The element is based on a level.";
        prompt += "\nThe level name is:  " + level.Name;
        prompt += "\nThe level elevation is:  " + level.Elevation;

        // Show the information to the user.
        TaskDialog.Show("Revit",prompt);
    }
