Family parameter values

I am trying to change the constraints value using Dynamo​​, but I cannot. Please advise.

What have you tried so far?

I need to change values like this.

And how have you tried to change them with Dynamo?

I would encourage you to search the forum and Google for what you’re looking to achieve. Something I’ve found success in and recommend to my mentees is typing a general search about what you want to do in Dynamo. For example, for this, I’d type something like “Set structural framing element parameters Dynamo BIM” or “Set element parameters Dynamo BIM.”

Give that a go!

I have tried but did not get.

There are probably hundreds of topics dealing with setting parameter values. It’s one of the basic introductions to Dynamo for Revit. If you’re having issues getting something specific to work, then you need to share that with us. If you can’t find anything dealing with setting parameters then I don’t know what you’re searching for.

The screenshot above (looks like ChatGPT and is surprisingly correct) explains the nodes and inputs required to get elements and set their values. Have you tried that workflow? Nothing in your graph image shows a node to set any values. The nodes you’re using to get values are also setup incorrectly. Constraints is not a parameter it’s a parameter group.

Yes…correct!

I have selected the model and it’s working but did not get in the list.

But without selection does not work. Please advise.

If you hover over the warnings they should tell you what the issue is. Your object types don’t match. You’re selecting a FamilyType but All Elements of Category is asking for a Category. The notes from ChatGPT say to use the Categories node to select the category to get all framing elements. If you only want instances of that specific FamilyType, then you either need to filter based on that parameter/property or use All Elements of Family Type.
