You seemed pretty close… I think you need the ‘End’ node, because you can’t set a parameter until the Placing of the family has been completed. Also, you need to be a little careful of data types… Your value was Text, but it seemed to be coming in as a Number (there is a ‘read as strings’ input on the Excel if you want to force everything to a String, but mostly life is a bit more complex than that!)
I suspect your next question will be about Coordinate systems, if so, drop us an example setup with your shared coordinates setup and links
Hope that helps,
Mark
P.S People like it if you drop a screen grab in the post, you’ll see Dynamo has a button for that on the top right.
Hi,
Thank you for your help.
I tried your script and it works perfectly for placing the families at the correct coordinates. However, I noticed an issue with the values: they appear with trailing zeros (e.g., “9,000000” or “500,000000” instead of just “9” or “500”).
It’s when Dynamo converts a number to a string, perhaps i hadn’t hit save on it when i dropped the link… if you look at the screen grab, it splits the string to drop them…
Thank you so much for your help Mark!
I really appreciate the time you took to solve my problem.
Your solution was exactly what I needed and works perfectly now. Thanks again for your valuable assistance!
