I want to edit parameters that are created in Revit from a spreadsheet where I know each element ID.

This is the Excel sheet that I have. I need that each element gets the value in the specified parameter, which already exists.

And this are the nodes that I have used until now:

I have tried with “Select.ByElementId” node but I dont have it nor I can download it. I need help to get the elements in Revit modified.

Thanks for your help

I believe you need to install the Archilab package first (though common it might not be there already).
