Hi @Olaf_Kappert,

The FamilyDocument Open node needs a family instance or a family to be able to return a family document and not a filepath.
Since you are using an Orchid node, the other nodes must also come from Orchid.
From what I know there is no compatibility between Orchids (family) documents and other custom nodes / packages.

		t.RollBack()

		t.RollBack()

	t.Dispose()
	famdoc.Close(True)
	famdoc.Dispose()

OUT = success

Edit post 15/05/2022
fix the output message when famSizeErrorInfo is not empty
