Syntax Return Value
ForgeTypeIdA ForgeTypeId identifying the data type of the parameter or an empty ForgeTypeId.
Remarks The returned ForgeTypeId may be empty or may identify either a spec or a category. When it is a category, it indicates a Family Type parameter of that category. See Parameter.IsSpec(ForgeTypeId), UnitUtils.IsMeasurableSpec(ForgeTypeId), Category.IsBuiltInCategory(ForgeTypeId), and Parameter.IsValidDataType(ForgeTypeId). Some built-in parameters, such as those for color or level, have special data types which are not available for use with user-defined parameters and which have no representation in the Revit user interface or API. For these built-in parameters, this method returns an empty ForgeTypeId instance.
