I have two project parameters (Instance) for communication device families. I am trying to fill the values of these parameters from an excel. The problem that I am facing is that the dynamo is reading the values from the excel either as a string or a Number data type and the project parameters are Angle data type.
Any Ideas?
You may be using an angle parameter, but the data type is number for angles. You’re providing strings. You don’t actually need to format them with the degrees symbol since that’s a unit (coming from the angle parameter). You should just be able to provide the numeric value.
Think about how you would do this in Revit. You don’t actually type in 2.0° you just type in 2 and the value gets formatted automatically.
And just FYI, the color of the node output is driven by the data type. Your initial values (that we can see) are numbers (blue) and then get converted to strings (orange).
I had already tried to feed the parameter the number values before. But they didn’t work.
But tried again after you suggested and this time it worked. May be earlier I hadn’t sorted out my data.
Thank you very much!
