Help with FileSystem.GetDirectoryContents

[EvenCreak]

Hello, I’m a Dynamo beginner looking for some help:

I can’t figure out why the FileSystem.GetDirectoryContents node isn’t working for me when I connect it to the DirectoryPath node. (See diagram Below)

The error message reads:

Warning: FileSystem.GetDirectoryContents expects argument type(s) (DirectoryInfo, string, bool) but was called with (string, string, bool).

It seems that FileSystem.GetDirectoryContents expects a variable (maybe?) as input, but DirectoryPath supplies a string, and therefore it doesn’t work. Can I convert the string to a variable so the node will accept it?

I am using Dynamo Core 2.0.2.6826, Dynamo Revit 2.0.2.6833, with Revit 2019.2

You are feeding a directory path, not a directory. Search your library for ‘directory from path’ and you should see the node which needs to be placed in between.

The Object.Type node can help ID these in the future.

That worked! Thank you very much!

For anyone else, here’s what the final result looked like:

hi, what if its

Warning: Roof.ByOutlineTypeAndLevel expects argument type(s) (Curve, RoofType, Level), but was called with (Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry.Curve, Revit.Elements.Element, Revit.Elements.Level).

thanks in advace
