| | FacingFlipped | Property to test whether the orientation of family instance facing is flipped. |
| | FacingOrientation | Property to get the orientation of family instance facing. |
| | FromRoom | The "From Room" set for the door or window in the last phase of the project. |
| | FromRoom Phase | |
| | Geometry | Retrieves the geometric representation of the element. (Inherited from Element .) |
| | GroupId | The id of the group to which an element belongs. (Inherited from Element .) |
| | HandFlipped | Property to test whether the orientation of family instance hand is flipped. |

| | Host | If the instance is contained within another element, this property returns the containing element. An instance that is face hosted will return the element containing the face. |
| | HostFace | Property to get the reference to the host face of family instance. |
| | HostParameter | If the instance is hosted by a wall, this property returns the parameter value of the insertion point of the instance along the wall's location curve, as long as the family of the instance isn't work plane based. |
| | Id | A unique identifier for an Element in an Autodesk Revit project. (Inherited from Element .) |
| | Invisible | Property to test whether the family instance is invisible. |
| | IsModifiable | Identifies if the element is modifiable. (Inherited from Element .) |
| | IsSlantedColumn | Indicates if the family instance is a slanted column. |
| | IsTransient | Indicates whether an element is transient or permanent. (Inherited from Element .) |
| | IsValidObject | Specifies whether the .NET object represents a valid Revit entity. (Inherited from Element .) |
| | IsWorkPlaneFlipped | Identifies if the instance's work plane is flipped. |
| | LevelId | The id of the level associated with the element. (Inherited from Element .) |
| | Location | This property is used to find the physical location of an instance within project. (Overrides Element Location .) |
| | MEPModel | Retrieves the MEP model for the family instance. |
| | Mirrored | Property to test whether the family instance is mirrored. (only one axis is flipped) |
| | Name | A human readable name for the Element. (Inherited from Element .) |
| | OwnerViewId | The id of the view that owns the element. (Inherited from Element .) |
| | Parameter Guid | Retrieves a parameter from the element given a GUID for a shared parameter. (Inherited from Element .) |
| | Parameter BuiltInParameter | Retrieves a parameter from the element given a parameter id. (Inherited from Element .) |
| | Parameter Definition | Retrieves a parameter from the element based on its definition. (Inherited from Element .) |
| | Parameters | Retrieves a set containing all of the parameters that are contained within the element. (Inherited from Element .) |
| | ParametersMap | Retrieves a map containing all of the parameters that are contained within the element. (Inherited from Element .) |
| | Pinned | Identifies if the element has been pinned to prevent changes. (Inherited from Element .) |
| | Room | The room in which the instance is located (during the last phase of the project). |
| | Room Phase | |
| | Space | The space in which the instance is located (during the last phase of the project). |
| | Space Phase | |
