Family parameter - type to instance

Revit
1

Hello forum

I am trying to change a family parameter from a type to an instance. I have found a few posts on this, but nothing recently with the node I am using - Clockwork FamilyParameter.MakeInstance.
I cannot get this to work, and the family.parameter I feed in always gets success=false.
Could anyone help me? Am I feeding in the wrong data? Here is a screengrab, and attached the family and .dyn.

Hi @TimGreatrex not entirely sure but think orchid likes orchid nodes…
An alternate option here may work provided you are directly in the .rfa file

You could have easily done that on DiRoots if that feature isn’t part of the subscription yet. not sure.

Hi Sovitek

Thanks so much for this. I will give this a go too, it would be amazing to be able to perform this within the project on multiple families.

Thank you again!
