Revit Addin getting information from model

Question

I need a code that when I click on my Revit add-in button returns me the family of the model element that is selected. Anyone can help with this?

I did some research in Autodesk University and I couldn't find something easy to understand that make something near of this

Do you mean:

var selElementId = uidoc.Selection.GetElementIds().FirstOrDefault();
var selElement = doc.GetElement(selElement);
var elemType = doc.GetElement(selElement.GetTypeId()) as ElementType;
var famName = elemType.FamilyName;

var fam = new FilteredElementCollector(doc)
    .OfClass(typeof(Family))
    .Where(f => f.Name == famName)
    .FirstOrDefault() as Family;

there might be better solutions, but this should also do the trick

UIDocument and Document – Vahdet Apr 16 '21 at 07:13
Thanks. But my problem is other now. I'll ask another question. It's about getting/setting a value from a parameter into selected family – MackMag Apr 27 '21 at 12:22
