Family selection box

Revit
1

For a script I need to select a Family and Type to be placed by the script.
Now I’m using “Structural Framing Types” as a selection box.
But it lists all family types without the family name.
So basically there are multiple type’s with the name 100 (i.e. HEA, HEB, HEM, UNP, IPE, etc.)
but no way of knowing if I selected the HEA or the HEB Family.
Is there a way to get a stepped selection, first family then type?
(this is going to be user input in the dynamo player)

All searches I do on this return hits about the selection of objects (family’s) in the revit model environment. Nothing on how to select a family from a selection box in dynamo or dynamo player.

Use the Data-Shapes package to build whatever input selection you need. This could certainly be a selection of Family first, followed by a selection of it’s relevant FamilyTypes.
