FuzzyDyno crashes revit

I actually use some fuzzy string comparison in my CaseInsensitive nodes in Rhythm:

src/RhythmRevit/Revit/Elements/Element.cs

cc46fb472


      
          public static object GetParameterValueByNameCaSeiNSeNSiTiVe(global::Revit.Elements.Element element,
              string parameterName)
          {
              //create a list to hold the element ids and add them to it
              Autodesk.Revit.DB.Element internalElement = element.InternalElement;
          
              global::Revit.Elements.Parameter[] elementParams = element.Parameters;
          
              string paramToSet;
              //score of each match list
              List<int> values = new List<int>();
              //score the match in the parameter list
              foreach (var param in elementParams)
              {
                  values.Add(StringComparisonUtilities.Compute(parameterName, param.Name));
              }
              //get the closest matching parameter name
              int minIndex = values.IndexOf(values.Min());
              paramToSet = elementParams[minIndex].Name;
              //lookup and get the parameter value

And the helper class here:

github.com/johnpierson/RhythmForDynamo

src/RhythmRevit/Utilities/Utilities.cs

cc46fb472


      
                  convexHullPoints.Reverse();
                  return convexHullPoints;
              }
              #endregion // Convex Hull
          }
          
          /// <summary>
          /// 
          /// </summary>
          [IsVisibleInDynamoLibrary(false)]
          public static class StringComparisonUtilities
          {
              /// <summary>
              /// 
              /// </summary>
              /// <param name="s"></param>
              /// <param name="t"></param>
              /// <returns></returns>
              public static int Compute(string s, string t)
              {
                  int n = s.Length;

I think I could make the helper class Dynamo-visible as a node and add the other ones from FuzzyDyno if you all think it would be useful?

I can add it here for tracking:
