Get Selected Elements (Basic)

Here is how to get currently selected elements in Revit UI and convert them to Elements with optional filtering.

#🔷 Get Selected Elements
selected_elements = selection.GetElementIds()

for e_id in selected_elements:
    print(e_id)

    # Convert ElementId to Element
    e = doc.GetElement(e_id)
    print(e, e.Category.Name)

    # Filter Selection
    if type(e) not in [Wall, Floor]:
        print('Wrong Element: {}'.format(e))
    else:
        print('Wall/Floor: {}'.format(e))

⌨️ Happy Coding!
