Python Available Element Types

poco2013 — Tue, 14 Sep 2021 11:49:02 GMT

Does anyone know if the Fill Elements are available to be retrieved in Python and what their name might be?

I tried PolyLine and Hatch and neither works.

I would like to address the areas of Fills in order to do a site area analysis in Python. I know you can use Zones but would like to use Fills as they are more straight forward.

Hi Gerry,

You can find all the available element type strings in the documentation.
Please visit this page of the documentation and click on ElementType to see the available values of that enumeration: As you can see Fill is currently not supported by JSON/Python API, sorry for the bad news
