create_line_based_element

Generate line-based elements like walls, beams, or pipes in Revit with precise parameters for family type, start/end points, thickness, height, and level. Supports batch creation in millimeters.

Instructions

Create one or more line-based elements in Revit such as walls, beams, or pipes. Supports batch creation with detailed parameters including family type ID, start and end points, thickness, height, and level information. All units are in millimeters (mm).
