How to deal with"No Parameter Found By that name"

[scao9]

I’m not sure why it warning that “No Parameter Found By that name”.
I do have a family type parameter with this name.
Looking for advise on what i’m doing wrong here.
Please see attached screen shot.

Thank u for your helps!

Quick answer: try SetParameterByName(TypeOrInstance) from Rhythm

[Arjan]

“Offset (default)” should be “Offset” in the string node. (default) in the family only shows whether it’s a type of instance property.

[scao9]

thank u for answer, but I tried change to the “Offset”,still not working…

[Nico_Stegeman]

between family types and element.set parameterByName
you should put the All Elements of Family Type Node

I am sorry…i am a freshman of Dynamo, could u please explain more?
Thank u for your patience!

See this thread:

How do you write Type Parameters? - Family Symbol node error

It seems simple - but how on earth do you write to a type parameter? I have wall type, I want to write to its parameters. Surely this is possible. Wading my way through possible ways to do it I came across errors in FamilySymbol.Family and Family.Symbols nodes. They look like a coding error: [TypeParameters]

[Nico_Stegeman]

You need a node to change from family type to a element because the input in the element.setparamterByName needs a element as input

I can change this title for you if you wish. If you need Dynamo in hurry situations, you should also consider to take a look at the Primer in your free time:

Hi @scao9

Clockwork package has a node called “Element.ParameterExist” to filter if parameter exist.

Hi Nico, I am feeding all inputs as elements, but I am still getting the same error. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Rohan

Hi Rohan
What is the warning?
I think your input in value needs a number probably a zero (0) or a one (1)

Hi Nico,

Appreciate your quick response.

The warning reads, “No Parameter Found By that name”.

This logic works for a different group that changes the sheet parameter, “CHECKED BY” but gives warning for “Not for Construction” and “Show Key Plan” Parameters.
See below snippet, I have tried using Boolean, Integer Slider and String to feed “value”.

Thanks,
Rohan Agarwal

[Nico_Stegeman]

it means that the element you selected in revit doesn’t have a parameter called “Not For Construction”
show us a picture off the element you selected and its properties

Hello Rohan

this graph can help you to find and understand and to set parameter value’s
