Hi All,

I’m trying to set some Yes/No Parameters for all types in the family editor but just the current type gets changed.

Any idea why?

This is the code:

```
import clr

# Import DocumentManager and TransactionManager
clr.AddReference("RevitServices")
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager

# Import RevitAPI
clr.AddReference("RevitAPI")
import Autodesk
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *

doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument

mgr = doc.FamilyManager

TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)

Types=list(mgr.Types)

_Parameters=FamilyManager.GetParameters(mgr)

for i in Types:
	for j in _Parameters:
		FamilyManager.Set(mgr,j, 0)		
		

TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()

OUT=0
```

Did you make sure that all parameters were booleans?

Yes they are. It works just for the current type. I need to manually switch type if I want to run the script to the next one.

Now you just need to add a line to set the current type for every type in the family.

Try setting each type to current before setting params.  
Looks like you are iterating over types but not doing anything with them:

```
for i in Types
    doc.FamilyManager.CurrentType = i 
        for... # iterate and set param values
```
