Hey, I’m trying to get an element through its ID. Not sure if its a filter I should be using but couldn’t crack it reading the documentation.
Thanks.

Hi @talfrd ,
There is a component called ‘Query Element’ that does exactly this.

Hi Kike,
It doesn’t seem to work in my case. It is the Revit ID as taken from the original element description.

Hi Talfrd,
We’ll need more information to be able to help.
4. Isolating the issue and posting files
Revit projects are rarely small & the issues are rarely simple. Its understandable that support files aren’t always readily uploadable, for size or for privacy concerns.
That said, here are some recommendations:
Isolating the question to a new Revit file with the Revit Version in the File Name, then purge the Revit file several times to reduce size.
List your GH plugins needed to review the question, if possible remove all gh plugin components no…

OK I realized the problem. I had a spacebar before the number. Thanks. It really helped knowing that this was the right approach as I tried it before, but you guys made me recheck my input data.
