List host objects

Revit

First off, I’m pretty new to Dynamo so please be gentle!

Now that that’s out of the way… I’m trying to do the following and not sure if I can do it with straight Dynamo or if an additional package is required. I want to create a list of families that begin with the prefix “STL*” (note the wildcard asterisk) that are hosted on any wall within the project. I can get All Elements of Category (that’s pretty easy) but I can’t figure out how to filter out just the STL* types. So I guess that’s the first part. Can someone give me a nudge in the right direction?

Thanks!

after all elements of category do getParameterValueByName and feed in name “Type” then check that with String.Contains and finally filter the original list with FilterByBoolMask

Thanks, @Konrad_K_Sobon! I’ll give that a shot.

Appreciate the guidance!
