hi,

i have an excel sheet with a

list of revit families in column 1

a parameter in column 2

the number of families to be placed in column 3.

right now i do not get my expected result.

whatever I do, I get a list with my families but I do not succeed with the number of elements to be placed.

example:

family a; parameter 1 = red; 10pcs

family b; parameter 1 = blue; 20pcs

family c; parameter 1 = green; 5 pcs

i create the families.

i succeed in finding out that there are 35 pcs to be placed

but I am not successful in building a list like

family a; parameter 1 = red

family a; parameter 1 = red

family a; parameter 1 = red

family a; parameter 1 = red

family b; parameter 1 = blue; 20pcs

family b; parameter 1 = blue; 20pcs

family b; parameter 1 = blue; 20pcs

family b; parameter 1 = blue; 20pcs

and so on.

why this? I want to combine this list with points in order to create families from an excel

any suggestions?
