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. [COMPONENT DEPTH] Thank you very much for any help. Tim

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 [image] [image] [image] Cheers KS

FAMILY PARAMETER MAKE INSTANCE.dyn (24.0 KB) GLASS SINGLE.rfa (584 KB)

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