Dear all,
I know this topic is already in the forum but for me is not working. I know well how to export names from Revit to Excel and to come back.
I’ve tried to write some python line to change family name but the only name I’m able to change is the type name, my target is to change the family name.
Can someone help me to achieve this (I think) simple task?
Can someone answer me why I don’t have anymore the “FamilyIntance.Symbol” node in Dynamo 1.2?
Thanks
Cesare
FamilyInstance.Symbol was renamed to FamilyInstance.Type. It gets the family type of a family instance. You will need to connect the family type to FamilyType.Family, to get the family of a family type.
And for changing family name use custom node from clockwork package called “Element.SetName”

Ciao @Cesare_Caoduro3, in the API the Name of a Family is a read-only parameter, therefore you cannot rename it even though you can in the UI.
You should open the family for editing, save the family with a new name, reload the family in the project document,replace each type of the old family with the correspondent types of the new one and finally delete the old family.
Hi,
Is this still the case?
Thanks!
Can you share this script? Thanks so much
