Associate parameter node from orchid package problem

[a.gerasheva]

Hello, I`m having problem with the Associate parameter node from the Orchid package.
In the examples it should work with strings as an input values for the document parameter and the the family parameter, but to me it returns this warning.: “Warning: Parameter.Associate expects argument type(s) (Document, Element, var…, var…), but was called with (Revit.Application.Document, Revit.Elements.Element, string, string)”

Try Parameter by name node, The Parameter.Associate needs an actual parameter as input i think.

From which Package is this node? The built in node parameter by name has a var as input and string as output.

Are you using the right one ?

This Node obtains the parameter of an element. I need to associate a Family Parameter to an Element.

Associate family parameter in a family

I honestly have no idea what would cause instances of the same element types to return the parameters in a different order. Looking at the for loop for elemAssoc and famAssoc, I would assume it would return the parameters in the same order because of the input search names. And I’m not sure why it would be occurring for you, but not for me, with the same file, lol. In any case, would you try this script? It creates a dictionary for element and family parameters to create the elemAssoc and famAs…
