Hi everyone, i need your help, i’m trying to create a family with 103 diferents “type name” from excel, inside i have 3 parameters which are diferent from each “type name” (read from excel too). i have succeeded to create all of the types name but i don’t know how to change parameters value in each type name, have you any proposal to do this ? Here is the script i’ve done to create the Type name. Thanks ![Capture](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/a/1/a11079d7018d7ca6e800bcece054c2771630358b.png) ---

Im not overly familiar with using this within the family editor, but don’t you still need to feed the element into the final “SetParameter” node? ---
