This concerns Revit architecture 2010

I have a building build completly from non parametric families (pre-fab concrete components) Now i want to make a schedule containing the Element ID and the inserting point from each family.

Example
type | element id | coordinates
fam1 | 1 | 0,100,0
fam1 | 2 | 100,100,0
fam2 | 3 | 0,0,100

I hope you catch my drift.

It seems to me that the information is in the revit database but i just can't get to it. Maybe this will have to be transferred to the api forum.

Thanks in advance for any advise.

PS. if the info is directly transferred to excel it is good too

well by using the odbc i gotten the element id's into ms access and from there into excel and with some of my own parameters i could manually add the x, y and z coordinates.
But i have 2 problems with this solution.
One:
In the odbc database i couldn't find the element id's for model group's.

Two:
I have to put in the coordinates manually which means lots of work and possible faults.

Does anyone has any idea's on how to solve this.
