Hi,  
I am comfortable with python but I am fairly new to Dynamo. Connecting the dynamo to Revit has turned out to be a problem for me. As a part of a bigger project, I am trying to create an instance in dynamo. I use a similar path to the following image, but no instances are being created. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Thank you for the help.

Hi,

Welcome to the forum!  
Does dynamo place the family? Please use a watch after the family instance:

Can you share me what kind of family type you try to place?
