Extract position coordinates (XYZ) of door/window by Clicking on it

[Dr Ilyas Meo]

Hi Developers!

I,m using revitPythonShell to extract position of doors using this script:

"  from Autodesk.Revit.DB import FilteredElementCollector as Fec

   from Autodesk.Revit.DB import BuiltInCategory as Bic

  doors = Fec(doc).OfCategory(Bic.OST_Doors).\
           WhereElementIsNotElementType().ToElements()
  print(doors)
  for door in doors:
       print(15*"-")
       print(door.Id)
       print(door.Location.Point)   ".

Now i,m curious how I can get these coordinates JUST BY CLICKING on a door in Revit?

any help?

regards!

Select doors or any other elements first then run the script below in RPS. 

import Autodesk

doc = __revit__.ActiveUIDocument.Document

uidoc = __revit__.ActiveUIDocument

#picked_doors = uidoc.Selection.PickObjects(Autodesk.Revit.UI.Selection.ObjectType.Element)

picked_doors = uidoc.Selection.GetElementIds() 

doors=[] 

for p in picked_doors:

    door= doc.GetElement(p)

    if door:

        doors.append(door)

for door in doors:

    print(15*"-")

    print(door.Id)

    print(door.Location.Point)
