@Kai Recreate the Parameter with Type as Number instead of Integer

Filter rule value is 0.000 (zero)

Hi, I was having this same error. Try to change your parameter storage type to double instead of integer and then change your codeblock to give doubles. It worked for me.

@jacob.small @solamour Any idea why it doesn’t work with Integer?

May also check out t his post and see if there is any insight to be gained here.

Filter Rule non String

Gotcha! [image] The first BIP LEVEL_PARAM didn’t work, it needs the 2nd… I’ll have to run some kind of check… pId = ElementId(BuiltInParameter.SCHEDULE_LEVEL_PARAM) sRule = ParameterFilterRuleFactory.CreateEqualsRule(pId, level.Id) fRule = ElementParameterFilter(sRule) #Do some action in a Transaction TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc) for name,cat in zip(filtNames,cats): paraele = ParameterFilterElement.Create(doc,name,catids) paraele.SetElementFilter(fRule) Parafilel…

@AmolShah thankyou that did the trick…

The Revit API in this case (Filter Rule for Ceiling Height) requires a number (Otherwise known as Float or Double) input as there can be decimally placed values in a Ceiling Height Only specific elements are locked to an Integer in the Revit API that truly do need a whole number.

We realise this is confusing to users, new users in particular, and are looking at how we can address numbers in general in Dynamo (Note: These discussions are just kicking off, so the work will take some time )

That was helpful. Thank you @solamour & @SeanP.
