Remarks

Unlike the method that obtains categories by name, this routine will obtain the handle even of built-in subcategories. Since 2016 it is advised to use either [!:​Autodesk::​Revit::DB::​Category::​GetCategory(​Document,​BuiltIn​Category)] or [!:​Autodesk::​Revit::DB::​Category::​GetCategory(​Document,​ElementId)] ​ method from Category class.
