I have a script that I use to renumber viewports and I tried to use it to number structural columns in order of selection, but I’m getting this error.
I did some searching on the forums and tried a different method, but I got the error that the node was expecting a revit.element.element and I was giving it a revit.element.structuralframing.
Can anyone help me out with this?
Instead of the built in parameter, why not use the out of the box Element.SetParameterValueByName node?
Or maybe you were saying why use a built in parameter, instead make your own and use the other dynamo node
I was doing that exact thing earlier today because I created a tag that showed the base and top level but you can’t put that in a tag. So I had dynamo read those parameters and populate a couple of new shared parameters. Maybe I’m overthinking this script
Expects:
Element, String, var
Got:
StructuralFraming, Int, String
StructuralFraming is a type of element so likely that is ok.
Strings are a type of var, so likely that is ok.
Int is not a type of string though, so that will have to change.
Yeah looking at your image from above, you are feeding 1 into the parameter name input instead of Comments
well seen I had only looked at the error message (sending problem: late work probably)

So the built in Parameter was part of the issue, it honestly make sense just making a new shared parameter called ‘column number’. A team mate is working on this and they used the Comments parameter and I didn’t think to change it.
The other issue was that I was testing it at starting with 100 but the count was only 3 and that is where I was ending it. So it couldn’t end it at 3 if it’s starting at 100. So I added an addition node.
Those two things solved the issues.
