Family instances : the family you would like to change the type of [quote=“Muzaffars2015, post:1, topic:10757”]
Window-1

The node FamilyInstance.SetType is from ClockWork package

Family Type : the new family

What if you needed to switch family categories? I have generic model elements that need to swap to specialty equipment type.

Mohammadz,

What if I want to do exactly like you showed, but I want to use a dictionary…because I don’t want to specify one wall type and swap it only I want to swap multiples at a time… image below is me brainstorming…

Hello,

Any update on this?
I am trying to do something very similar and change multiple structural framings from one type to the other. For instance running a loop over multiple types and replace each to a different type
