Functions exist but not found in the Revit API documentation

Question

I have a simple question. In the Revit API metadata, some functions such as get_parameter(...) or get_geometry(...) in element class. However, they are not displayed in the documentation.

I expect to find all properties and functions in the docs. If not, How am I supposed to know they exist?

Answer 1

In short, the get_ prefix is automatically generated by .NET to enable a C# client to pass in arguments to a property call. Please read The Building Coder article explanining what is get_Parameter and get_Geometry.
