Hello. I’m very green in using Dynamo, but dang, I love what is happening here! I’m really struggling figuring out how to learn input/output methods. I found a demo of building a parameter to supply a Bottom of Pipe (BOP) calculated off available parameters. It works! But we’re a Piping company, and there’s a lot of options that can’t be picked up thru scripting, like Bottom of Insulations!
So I’ve been working on modifying the tutorial I followed on BOP, and moving toward Insulation. Pipe Insulation is a single category, along with pipe, but somehow it’s attached to Pipe, and I think this is part of my struggle.
(I apologize ahead of time for the split screenshot, figured readable with a slight break/overlap vs. too small to read was better.)
Warning: Element.SetParameterByName operation failed.
The parameter’s storage type is not an Element.

I receive this error on compile. Element.SetParameterByName is getting it’s input Element from Pipe currently (Screenshot shows PipeInsulation), but I’ve tried Pipe Insulation which isn’t exposed to the user in the project without building a schedule. This is for annotating BOP/BOI, so it won’t work. I need to tie it back to the Pipe.
What is my major malfunction here? My other “Element.SetParameterByName” for setting BOP works just fine (Can’t help from feeling like it has something to do with the Pipe Insulation category itself being nested to a Pipe Object, but I’m obviously missing something here.
