Exporting ALL element and family parameters with their UniqueID's to excel

Hello everyone,

First of all this is my first post and I would like to thank you all for the efforts that you are making on this forum. It helped me a lot until now in starting with Dynamo and automating tasks in Revit.

Now for this particular problem, I explored for a few days the forums and I did not find any topic that could solve it.

What I am trying to do is to get all parameters from Revit for all elements, but assigned to their uniqueID’s.
I managed to do this for the element parameters, but I am stuck at family parameters. I can get them out but I do not find a a way to assign them to each unique ID with the rest of the parameters.

Please keep in mind that I am just a structural engineer, relatively new to Dynamo, and I do not have a background in programming.
Thank you all in advance and I apologize if I made any mistakes in this post.

Use Element.ElementType or Element.ElementType+ (clockwork) to get to the family parameters.
From there you can use most of the above graph.
If you would write the UniqueId of a family type to an element, you could use that to lookup the families parameter values in excel.
Tip:
read up about relational databases

Thank you very much for the answer, and also for the Tip.

I will post the result once it is done.
