ElementType Class

Base class for all Types within Autodesk Revit.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 24.0.0.0 (24.0.0.0)

Syntax

C#
`public class ElementType : Element`

Visual Basic
`Public Class ElementType _ Inherits Element`

Visual C++
`public ref class ElementType : public Element`

Remarks

Element types are usually non user visible elements that define instances. For example a wall type is a type that is not visible until an instance of the wall is created.
