Error with Get Parameter Value by Name for Type Parameter

Revit
1

I have been trying to get the type parameter “Width” from a linked wall and successfully get some and not able to get others. I use “Element.GetParameterValueByName” and Archi-lab_Grimshaw’s “Element.Type” node. I am not quite sure what causes this error. Please see the following images.

Any luck trying the OOTB node Element.ElementType?

May be second one inplace wall.

Hi Vijay

Ok, the problem is it’s not pulling types correctly from the linked model. The wall that it does get the value for correctly is because an identical wall type exists in the main model. You’ll have to find a different node (or some designscript or python) to get types from a linked model. Clockwork’s “Element.ElementType+” will do this.

Hi Hamish

Thanks a lot . It works with “Element.ElementType+” node from clockwork.
