Get quantity or count of family from Revit

This may be a very basic question, I’m wanting to pull the quanitity of a furniture family from Revit to be exported to excel. I used the Element.GetParameterValueByName node but the “Count” value shows up as blank. Is there another node I need to use?

You have to use the List.Count node on a list of items, not a Count parameter on a list item. A post like this one may help.

Hi @abutterfield,
the node get parameter value by name doesn’t work because you don’t have “Count” as a parameter “inside” the family instance, like Mark, Comments, etc…

Instead you may want to use the Count node (just right click on the dynamo workspace) and type count, you will see a “blue hand icon”, that’s the node. Hope this helps you.
