TextNotes location
I can't get location of Text Notes elements by Element.GetLocation. Is there any way i can get the location?

In the API, TextElements have a .Coord property that stores the position. Looks do-able with some python work, see here:

Dear cellersick,
I have read the discussion, but i am not (yet) good with python. Appreciate if you can give me full script of python to get TextNotes location.
Thanks.Comment

got it.
python script:
import clr
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
clr.AddReference('RevitNodes')
import Revit
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.GeometryConversion)
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.Elements)
OUT=[]
for val in UnwrapElement(IN[0]):
OUT.append(val.Coord)Comment

What are you feeding into this script to get the coordinates? I am trying to give it an element or list or elements and output coordinates, but i dont think i have it right.Comment

Hello HandyAndy,
You need to write it as the following:
And you should be able to copy and paste the following into your Python node
