I am trying to set a value of a Build In Parameter, namely the profile of a slab edge but it doesn’t work. I am using the Parameter Set Method with which I had success in the past.
Does anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong?
import clr
# Import RevitAPI Classes
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
import Autodesk
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
clr.AddReference('RevitNodes')
import Revit
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.Elements)
clr.AddReference('RevitServices')
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager
clr.AddReference("System")
from System.Collections.Generic import List
import sys
pyt_path = r'C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\Lib'
sys.path.append(pyt_path)
import System
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
UIunit = Document.GetUnits(doc).GetFormatOptions(UnitType.UT_Length).DisplayUnits
Profile_P = BuiltInParameter.SLAB_EDGE_PROFILE_PARAM
Profile_N = IN[0]
famType = UnwrapElement(IN[1])
# Code unterhalb dieser Linie platzieren
TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
new_type = famType.Duplicate("TEST_SLAB_EDGE2")
new_type.get_Parameter(Profile_P).Set(Profile_N)
new_type_profile = new_type.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.SLAB_EDGE_PROFILE_PARAM)
TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()
OUT = new_type_profile.AsValueString()
So the newly created Slab Edge type retains the same profile as the original one instead of having the “Dreieckig:400 x 45” Profile
