Getting Parameter Data

For “info347074” who asked at AUGI about getting the values of shared parameters that are shown in labels on a sheet, here is a little macro showing how it can be done. Getting the parameter values from the sheets is no different than getting the values from any other Revit element.

public void GetSheetParams()
{
    Document doc = this.ActiveUIDocument.Document;
    string sheetInfo = "";
    foreach (Element e in new FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(typeof(ViewSheet)))
    {
        // get the parameter
        Parameter parameter = e.get_Parameter("CADFile");

        // get the string value of the parameter
        string cadFileData = parameter.AsString();

        sheetInfo += cadFileData + "\n";
    }
    TaskDialog.Show("CADFile", sheetInfo);
}
