Steel Element Properties Class

This class is used to attach steel fabrication information to various Revit elements. extensions at both element ends

Inheritance Hierarchy

System Object
Autodesk.Revit.DB APIObject
Autodesk.Revit.DB.Steel SteelElementProperties

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Steel
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 27.0.4.0 (27.0.4.0)

Syntax

public class SteelElementProperties : APIObject

Public Class SteelElementProperties
	Inherits APIObject

public ref class SteelElementProperties : public APIObject

type SteelElementProperties = 
    class
        inherit APIObject
    end

The SteelElementProperties type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	IsReadOnly	Identifies if the object is read-only or modifiable. (Inherited from APIObject )
	IsValidObject	Specifies whether the .NET object represents a valid Revit entity.
	UniqueID	This method will return the fabrication id. This represents the link between the Revit and the Steel Core element.

Methods

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