Add Parameters to compound wall layers

Revit
1

Hi everyone! I am searching for a way to add parameters in the “Thickness” at the wall layer tab. I looked on the web and on the forum here, but I couldn’t find something related to this. Anyone suggestions?

doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument

ele = UnwrapElement(IN[0])

TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)

e_type = ele.WallType
cs = e_type.GetCompoundStructure()

for i, l in enumerate(cs.GetLayers()):
	if l.Function == MaterialFunctionAssignment.Structure:
		cs.SetLayerWidth(i, 10/304.8)
		e_type.SetCompoundStructure(cs)

TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()

oh hey @newshunhk ! Thanks for the answer! The code you posted works good! :smiley:
I just need to understand it better (since I am new to python and Revit API). My goal is to read values about different wall thicknesses from excel, and assign them to the wall layers in revit.
