Sorry -- Picked the wrong function!!

space_classification_item = acu.FindClassificationItemInSystem( 'ARCHICAD Classification', 'Space')

element_ids = acc.GetElementsByClassification(space_classification_item.classificationItemId)
print(element_ids)

Once you have your element list, you can iterate through to find the element with the properties you want or match them to a specific element type?

Hi, just curious if you have already tried to SetClassificationsOfElements, as this somehow tricking me at the moment. It requires the list of ElementClassification but I somehow don't get it right. Any help is appreciated!

Might be a easier way:

elements = acc.GetElementsByType('Object')
top_class = acu.FindClassificationSystem('ARCHICAD Classification')
item_class = acu.FindClassificationItemInSystem('ARCHICAD Classification','System Furniture')
class_id = act.ClassificationId(top_class,item_class.classificationItemId)
elem_classes = []
for element in elements:
    elem_class = act.ElementClassification(element.elementId,class_id)
    elem_classes.append(elem_class)
acc.SetClassificationsOfElements(elem_classes)

Thx, structuring the class hierarchy helps. I will dig deeper and see where I get with this!

can you please provide the website? I can't find videos on https://graphisoft.com/downloads/python

The link to the videos are in the PDF of each script examples.

NB: I made a little introduction to the archicad/python connection here if you are a beginner on the subject: https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Developer-forum/PYTHON-Introduction-to-the-Archicad-Python-conne...
