Hi there,

I am wondering if it is possible to get the “Host” parameter of the family.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you Kulkul,

It was not what I was looking for.

The answer was more simple that I thought. i did not realise I could get from the normal parameters

Just get the Families\_Element.Parameters\_GetValuebyParameterName\_“Host”.

But thank you very much for you prompt answer. I really appreciate it.

All the best.
