AEC Data - Simple

Retrieves elements and their properties from an Autodesk Construction Cloud AEC Data Model using a straightforward filter and element group ID.

Purpose

Use this task when a workflow needs to extract a well-defined set of BIM elements and properties from an ACC model without writing a full GraphQL query. It is the quickest way to pull structured element data for use in reporting, scheduling, or quantity take-off tasks when the target element group and filter criteria are already known.

Inputs

Field	Type	Required	Description
Element Id	Text	Yes	The ID of the element group within the AEC Data Model to query.
Filter	Text	Yes	A filter expression restricting which elements are returned (e.g. 'property.name.Element Context'=='Instance' and 'property.name.Revit Category Type Id'=='Doors').
Return Properties	List	Yes	The list of property names to include in the returned element data (e.g. Name, Width, Family Name).

Outputs

Name	Description
AecData	A JSON string containing the list of elements matching the filter, each with the requested properties. Pass this to a data transformation or reporting task for further processing.
