Element Class

Base class for most persistent data within a Revit document.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 17.0.0.0 (17.0.484.0)

Syntax

C# 
public class Element : IDisposable
Visual Basic 
Public Class Element _
	Implements IDisposable
Visual C++ 
public ref class Element : IDisposable

Remarks

The data in a Revit document consists primarily of a collection of elements. An element usually corresponds to a single component of a building or drawing, such as a wall, door, or dimension, but it can also be something more abstract, like a wall type or a view. Every element in a document has a unique ID, represented by the ElementId class.
