AEC Data Model API: Deprecating "Revit Element ID" Property

Default blog image

Attention AEC Data Model API users. Autodesk is planning to deprecate one property, “Revit Element ID,” in the AEC Data Model API. If your application uses this property, you will need to update your code. 

In November 2024, we introduced a new field revitElementId to ElementAlternativeIdentifiers and ElementFilterInput objects to make the design of the AEC Data Model API more consistent. If your application uses the “Revit Element ID” property, you will need to replace it with revitEmeneltId. For more information about revitElementId, please refer to this blog: “AEC Data Model API: new field revitElementId in ElementAlternativeIdentifiers and ElementFilterInput.” 

Action Required:

If your application uses “Revit Element ID”, please update your application by October 1, 2025, after which date any AEC Data Model queries with the deprecated functionality will fail.

If you have any questions regarding this deprecation, please contact support.
