Extracting family type parameter

Hello,

I’m struggling with extracting a family type parameter in dynamo.
I would like to write a script that calculates the perimeter of my room - the width of my doors.

Therefore, I’m trying to extract the family type parameter “width” from my doors in revit to dynamo.
The problem is that when I extract all my parameters from my doors, width is not in the list.

Am I using the wrong nodes to extract this parameter?
Here you can find an image and my dynamoscript.

Hi Draxl,

Thank you for your response.
But it doesn’t work, the valuas are always null…

Use the one from Rhythm.

…or like @erfajo pointed out.

You need the actual Family Type and not the placed instances of that type.
