Newbie here again, has anyone encounter the problem that Element.SetName from clockwork is not functioning properly? I’ve checked other posts and it seems to me that simple scripts like image 1 should work but actually aren’t. i’m trying to sort beam families by their size, as shown in image 2, th…

@Andreas_Dieckmann wow, to make something worse in an honest but failed attempt to improve it … this describes a typical day for me :stuck_out_tongue:

thank you for your time, really appreciated, the clockwork version is 2.1.1, and i’m using dynamo 2.0.1 in revit 2018. Packages i’m using includes datashape, clockwork, Rhythm, archi-lab.net , lunchbox, i think that’s all, while a few packages are installed but not used.

wow~ never thought my post can have andydandy involved, this makes my day haha thank you for you help and making dynamo that much interesting with clockwork

Have you figured out this issue? maybe I have same trouble… [K-018] No errors, No results. I’m using Revit2108, Dynamo 2.0.2, and 2.1.2 Clockwork.

Hi Jacob, I am using Revit 2018, Dynamo 2.0.2, Clockwork 2.1.2 [K-022] and my results are same as brian3814 If it’s not a version issue, is there a problem with my graph? Structural Frame, Change Names of families2.dyn (101.7 KB)

Test the contents of the node to see if that fails. Also you’re in a project environment, right?

Did you test the contents of the custom node (double click on it, select all the nodes except the inputs and outputs in the custom node, copy, switch back to the dyn file, paste, wire in accordingly)?

I’m in a project environment. And I did test the custom node but It still doesn’t work… [K-001.jpg] This seems to be happening to many people, but is it still unclear whether it is a version issue or a program problem?

This thread didn’t come up when search but I’m also having problems with weird Element.SetName behavior. I’ll follow here too now.
