Create a list for each family type and all variations of a parameter

Yeah no problem, dyn attached and two title blocks

We have to set a status for all our sheets when issuing out drawings, the status codes are a nested family tied to a label parameter.

The idea was to use Data Shapes to set a status code for each sheet (rather than manually sheet by sheet, as it’s a shared parameter I can’t schedule the titleblocks). I ran into some issues previously when trying to do it, this is another attempt at working it out. This is the previous attempt at it where I was opening each titleblock family to get the nested family ID which didn’t work.

It’s a little bit of a hacky way I’m going about it, I have one sheet view with all my title block families (A0/A1/A2/Etc Landscape/Portrait), each title block has a different status code set for the label parameter. My intention was to;

  • Get all title blocks in the project
  • Get status codes (label parameter) for all family instances
  • Filter down all the unique title blocks + status code combination to get a list of all A0/A1/etc sheets with a sublist of all status code families and their ID

Further down the graph what I want to do is to pull the correct status code ID for each sheet variation and use that to set the status code for the sheets picked in the Data Shapes.

The attached is only the filtering bit of the graph, I’m still re-working the overall graph in which I’ll use this in.
