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: 25.3.0.0 (25.3.0.0)
Syntax 
public class SteelElementProperties : APIObject

The SteelElementProperties type exposes the following members.

Properties
Name Description
Public property 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.

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.
