Steel Element Properties Class

This class is used to attach steel fabrication information to various Revit elements.
Inheritance Hierarchy
System Object
Autodesk.Revit.DB APIObject
Autodesk.Revit.DB.Steel SteelElementProperties

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Steel
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 25.0.0.0 (25.0.0.0)
Syntax 
public class SteelElementProperties : APIObject

The SteelElementProperties type exposes the following members.

Properties
Name Description
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.

Methods
Name Description
Public method Static member AddFabricationInformationForRevitElements This method adds fabrication information to the given elements.
Public method Dispose Causes the object to release immediately any resources it may be utilizing.
(Inherited from APIObject )
Public method Equals Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.
(Inherited from Object )
Public method Static member GetFabricationUniqueID This method will return the fabrication id for the given reference.
Public method GetHashCode Serves as the default hash function.
(Inherited from Object )
Public method Static member GetReference This method will return the reference for the given fabrication id.
Public method Static member Code example GetSteelElementProperties Get SteelElementProperties for the input element if they exist.
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance.
(Inherited from Object )
Public method ToString Returns a string that represents the current object.

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.
