Cannot find Data within the Base in Specklepy

Help
1

I’m trying to find certain parameters (volume, material) in the sent revit objects and then do some calculations and then send it back as a new parameter field. But I’m being stumped by the first step…

I was following the tutorial here for getting the information: Tutorial: Simple Dashboard | Speckle Docs

But I’m only getting the Base object of type Objects.Organization.Model and there’s no [‘data’] attached to it.

I was able to find it after running get_dynamic_member_names.

Is there a bettery way to access the data? How did you manage to get it in JSON format? @izzylys

Thanks!!

Hi @shuzmm,

Welcome to the community! Feel free to Introduce yourself :person_gesturing_ok: to the community if you want to!:grinning:

We have another tutorial on accessing Revit data. Can you take a look at that and see if it helps.

I am not a Python expert but afaik, you can use BaseObjectSerializer, if you want to serialize your base object into a JSON string. This returns a tuple containing the object id of the base object and the serialized object string.

Let us know if it helps.:rose:

from specklepy.serialization.base_object_serializer import BaseObjectSerializer

serializer = BaseObjectSerializer()
serializer.write_json(your_base_object)

Ah this tutorial is exactly what I was looking for!
Thanks!
