I have been importing CAD details and cleaning them up for Revit. I want to change the text type to one of my text types called “3/32 Arial”   I have tried Setparameter.byname, as well as some custom nodes to change family type. The text note type isnt a parameter instance or type, it is a sytem family type. I have been able to to get the text note type id, but still cant seem to find the right node to change the type. I just want to change all text to the same type, so no need to filter out anything.   Ideas?? ---

This one can change Text Font of all Text Notes. However it doesn’t change Text Type. ![ChangeFontDyn](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/2X/5/52cc8d60265fe0bcb9a797ca6147f83c91a053f6.png) ---

Hi, The “Element.SetParameterByName” should work. Could you try to share the error you’re getting? ![Revit_2016-05-02_16-47-43](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/2X/a/a18ee72dfe17fb227da0667311ac4dd7d305ef20.png) ---

Thanks Dimitar:) Your code is great. The thing is it need an existing Type. How to duplicate an existing Type to create a new Type ? I tried the code below and not working, any idea? ![try to change text type error](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/2X/8/86abdf46e3e38d51d7bf61f83d7406113937211f.png) ---

Hi Zhaohui, Check out the “ElementType.Duplicate” node from Clockwork. Once you generate the new types, you can set their specific type parameters with the “Element.SetParameterByName” node. Good Luck!   ---

Hi @Hai_Trinh “Elements.FilterByName” is a custom node from @Andreas_Dieckmann clockwork package. You need to search the package and install it from online package search in Dynamo. ---

Greetings all! I am trying to create a graph that will only take a particular text family type and make it uppercase. I’m sure I am not the first one to try this, but I can’t seem to actually make the desired family type uppercase once I have filtered my selection. Can anyone help me with which node I need to go with next? Thank you all for reading.
