Creating System Families from an excel sheet CHALLENGE

Packages
24

This incorrect behaviour of Dynamo is corrected in Dynamo 2.3. Anyway the packages are installed correctly despite the shutdown of Revit.

The lists of thickness, material and function have an unequal length so use the longest lacing on the Create Compound FamilyType node.

Hi @Alban_de_Chasteigner,

Is there a possibility to overwrite the floors created by this workflow?

For example: I have a floor called “Test1” and its materials layers called “S1, S2, S3”. In a later revision, “Test1” change the materials layer as “S1, S4, S3, S5”.

Thanks a lot,
Michele

Hi,

Use the FamilyType.SetCompoundLayerMaterial of the Clockwork package to change the materials in the existing floor.

Hi,

As specified above, you must use the longest lacing with lists of unequal lengths.
Use Flatten nodes to simplify your list structures.

Hi, thank you for the quick reply, it looks like it solved the issues, partially!

Do I have to use a single item for the ElementOfFamilyType?
