Getting the system family of views?

Please see screenshot…

This is taking me hours, it should take one minute!

Thank you…

There are plenty of topics regarding your question how to get (filter) Floor Plans (only).

In example, or.

Did you try the forums Search function at all?

I don’t have an answer for the enlarged question though.

yeah, I searched and found a solution.

The question is, for a view “Floor Plan: Enlarged” why is Dynamo returning the Type when I am asking for the Family?

Next time make it a bit more clear what your real question is.

I mean :point_down: :wink:

This is what you also asked, so this is also what you (might) get an answer for.

And look at what the nodes say. You are asking for the Types (Elements) Name,
so that is what you got.

What did you expect as a return from the node?

What?

The list of View parameters clearly shows “Family” and “Type” parameters.
They have different values, the first is “Floor Plan”, the second is “Enlarged”.

The Get parameter node is asking for the “Family” parameter value, not the “Type”.

“Enlarged” should never appear in the list from the Get Parameter node since that is never the “Family” parameter value.

“Floor Plan” is what I was expecting.

Unless I am not understanding what the Get Parameter node does…
Maybe I should try the OOTB “Get Parameter” name node.

Thank you anyways.

its not family you want. its FamilyViewType which is not a parameter. use this setup
