Element from String

Hi Guys,

I’ve managed to filter a large number of pipes down to their individual system with help from the forum! In the process, it appears that I have now ended up with a list of strings not elements (I think).

What I need to do is to convert this list back to a list of pipes so that I can feed them into another dynamo graph where I would normally be using: Elements>All Elements of Category. Is it straight forward to get this list back to a list of elements?

I’ve searched through the nodes and can’t seem to find anything

See below:

Thanks for any help

Trying to do something like this! (Join two graphs together)

Here’s the graph if it helps

Pipe by System - Change Pipe Type.dyn (20.5 KB)

Thanks.

As I pointed out in the other thread, by feeding the results of the Element.GetParameterValueByName you are now filtering a list of parameter values instead of elements. Use the node feeding into the get parameter node as your list and you should be fine.

Hi Jacob,

Thanks, I tried this but it didn’t filter the list down. It returned all 200 pipes. Am I doing something wrong here?

Apologies if I am misunderstanding, still learning!

Apologies, you were spot on!

It was the list level in the list.FilterByBoolMask wasn’t set correctly!

Thanks again for all your help.
