For exporting structural Analytical Panels, it is important to know both the geometry and type of panel. Panel Geometry can be extracted from the Analytical Panel, but type information is stored in the Structural (non-analytical) Element. The Analytical Panel element has no Type information stored. (In contrast, Analytical Members store both Geometry and Section Type information as a parameter for easy retreival)

To retrieve type information for an Analytical Panel, one must use the GetAssociatedElementId Method from the RevitAPI.
As best I can tell, this method can only be run by making a script in Grasshopper. It would save time if there was component that contained this function.

There is at least one similar issue. To my knowledge, a GH user can't get Analytical Node Objects from an Analytical Member without using the GetAnalyticalNode method, also requiring a scripting component.

There may be other element associations that can be retrieved only with methods.

Has a component for this been added? It is imperative to our workflow to have an association between the parameters of an analytical model and its physical counterpart.
