Hey,

Is this something like what youā€™re after?
Capture Mark Value Change _ 14-01-2019-MKA.dyn (29.9 KB)

I canā€™t easily test it without a rvtā€¦

Hope that helps,

Mark

Edit: slightly updated

That I understand :wink:
But now we still have to run things to understand what goes wrong. A screenshot with the errors is usefull. Not everybody uses Structural Framings with the Mark name ā€œTF-HCS250-010ā€.

So without being able to test things properly: the unlogical part is in the middle. list allindecesof. Furthermore donā€™t use the getparatervaluebyname as element input for setname you need the actual elements.

I want to change multiple mark values ! Getting Error !

you canā€™t check a list with single values.

In your case: the two mark names ā€œHR ā€¦ā€ is a list. Use the node List.contains.

But, what are you trying to achieve? you have a bunch of elements which you filter by mark value. and afterwards you set those specific elements to the same mark value?

== is working fine and filtering after giving multiple inputs;
Last Node isnt replacing Multiple New Values to Old Values.

16

I have multiple Values at Element.SetParameterByName !
How shall I give multiple Value Inputs at this node; kindly guide !
== is working fine.

Each Mark Value is unique

You are feeding an empty list, so it has nothing to update.

Because your == is not giving you the output you want.

18

Yeah, you are right. let me try your suggestions for ==

Mark,

How can I erase the value of Mark ? I would lie to leave that empty, they are currently pre-populated within all my Door families.

Hi Esra,

I would just feed an empty ā€˜stringā€™ node to the Value input of SetParameterā€¦ I think that should work :slight_smile:

Cheers,

Mark
