Excel to Revit Return Path

Jared,

If you want to put the string None in as a value you either have to use a string node or write “None” in the code block. You will also want to set the lacing within Element.Set ParameterByName to longest.

Thanks for the reply Tim, but that does not seem to work. I get the same error as before.

Is it possible that there is something specific to structural framing elements that might be causing this? I’ve used this component before on other elements with no problems.

Jared,

The issue is that the structural connection parameter is an element, but the standard None in revit is not element, neither is it a string or a number. So I do not know how to set it to None (someone smarter out there will probably know). Anyone in the meantime here is a work around.

I created a new connection element in revit called None:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can then pull this structural element out and plug it into values.

 

Thanks Tim! That’s a good workaround in the meantime.

If anyone knows of a way to do this without having to create the None element in Revit, I’d be curious to hear it.
