Get Revit element by ID (python + Revit API)

This is the first entry of my Rhino Inside Revit Diary.

I can get a Revit element by its ID with a Python script, just like the “Query Element” component in RhinoInside. 😁

PYTHON Code snippet below.  🐍

import clr
clr.AddReference("System.Core")

from RhinoInside.Revit import Revit, Convert
from Autodesk.Revit import DB

doc = Revit.ActiveDBDocument

# Convert from int to elementId
elementId = DB.ElementId(ID)

#Get the element
element = doc.GetElement(elementId)

In the rest of the posts, the code or GH files will be only available for subscribers! (It is free!)
