I am trying to push data from the Instance Parameter (COBie.Type.Material BIM360) to Type Parameter (COBie.Type.Material). Any assistance would be appreciated.

down load Rhythm package use SetParameterByName(TypeORInstance) Node it will work ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/d/d/dd90399cb7bbc1a025dd78cbbca3ded18092bff4.png) ---

I have downloaded the package and changed the process as you advised, Dynamo says “run complete” but it doesn’t copy from the instance to the type parameter. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/1/2/12019f479a9d3f1c656d7e6c84be45049f5c4794.jpeg) Do you have any other advice please? ---

Number of instances will be more than number of types so list the unique instances that will be equal to types, then get value and set value. ---

hi guys the problem is because of null inputs. means the data should not be null [Try this type parameter.dyn](https://forum.dynamobim.com/uploads/short-url/uBPZv1AOvDRihULiuccoMNBWU21.dyn) (4.9 KB) ![try%20this](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/2/d/2dbc80974dae5ad3f65136685cde2e8b0920547e.jpeg) ---

It is simple the number of elements and the number of values (i:e with out null) must be equal…👍 ---

Group your families by their type, and then get the instance parameters. If there is more than 1 unique value per group your exercise won’t work very well, as types can only store a single value. ---

Hi @jnutterLU9EE > [@jnutterLU9EE](#): > > I am trying to push data from the Instance Parameter (COBie.Type.Material BIM360) to Type Parameter (COBie.Type.Material). If you want to set for specific type you can do this way: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/1/9/19c84fff15c069b3c500ab985439c89a90fbff76.png) And if you want to do for all the types then this way: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/0/6/06b126b87b0152b09e6fbf2a92976fcaff75d288.png)
