Get GroupType by name? Is this possible?

Revit

Good Morning (NZ Time) @wesleyJHXGK

Hopefully this works for you. Given a list of strings, the code will check to see if the string matches any of the parameter grouptypes in the project and if there is, it will output it as a string for you to input into your list as required.

The handling of a not matching item is not strictly correct, but i’m assuming that your input list is perfect :wink:

I hope this answers your question, Have a great day!
