How to create separate assemblies of each element in a list

21

Hi @staylor,

Do you feed the “Element.Parameter” node with a list of “AssemblyInstances” ?

Does it give no parameters at all, or just not the parameters you are looking for ?

Are the custom “Instance” parameters you are looking for asigned to the right Category ?

The value that is inputted into the shared parameter field before it is made into an assembly is not carried over. The parameter field is carried over, but it is empty. So part of the problem is fixed with assigning the shared parameter to the assemblies category. So a step in the right direction!

Where you have the Set Parameter node, needs to be Get Parameter, so I can use the pulled values to set the assembly names and sheet numbers. Right now I have it pulling the values before it creates the assemblies, but I can’t run the script if there are existing assemblies.

Thanks

In case someone is looking to do the same thing. Here is what I have.

The other side of the script is the same but sets the scale at 1/2"

Thanks for everyone’s input!
