Hi
when i make these nodes the dynamo doesn’t create the family as solid only create it as reference as shown below.
can anyone show me please how to fix these nodes and thank you
What does the output look like? You’re not providing a name (name needs to be a string) or material, so that is likely causing problems.

That looks like the geometry preview from the solid. What is the output from the FamilyType.ByGeometry node within the graph itself? Does it show an element being created or does it return a null or something else?
Are you running this graph within a Family Document? I believe this is for creating family types within the family itself, not for creating new instances within a project. Is that what you’re attempting to do? You need to show us exactly what you’re doing and what your results are. Otherwise we’re just blindly guessing.
Thank you for your help
To clarify, i want to do a family that i create it by my self like a solid family and i want to create that family by face on curved wall to be a curved like this wall in picture.
The picture above is from Revit after i create this family on curved wall face.
So, the problem show this family is created as a curved but it couldn’t show its material or Do not appear as solid.
So please if do you have any ideas to do it in my script to show it in Revit model kindly show me
Thank you
Can you select the family in Revit? It looks like the solid you’re seeing is just the Dynamo geometry preview in Revit, not anything that’s actually been pushed to the RVT file.
If you want to create a repeatable family then you need to create this in a Family Document. If you just want one-off geometries in your model then you’re probably better off with a DirectShape geometry that you import into the model. There are out of the box nodes and custom packages that deal with DirectShapes. Check them out and give it a try. You need to make sure you’re using the right nodes for the right process. The Dynamo Primer may also be helpful.
