Anyone know why this happens? Why does it behave differently with the Proposed phase? [image] [image] [image]

Hey, The only thing I can think of is that when creating the fases this one was combined with another.(so its basicly two fases) Probably if you create a new fase with this name it might work.

Heya, I agree that this is odd behaviour… I think this is likely to be because when pulling parameter values ‘by name’ there can be duplication in the names. DynamoDS/DynamoRevit/blob/master/src/Libraries/RevitNodes/Elements/Element.cs using System; using System.Collections.Gener…

Thanks :slight_smile: I wrote some Python that seems to have fixed it but I was wondering if this is normal/ why it does it etc. It’s our company template so it’s on a lot of jobs so not easy to fix it if it is two phases that have merged.

I tried it with a test phase, which I then merged with another phase, but I couldn’t replicate your results… Maybe dig around in the project parameters and see if there is another ‘Phase’ parameter assigned to your Views? Unlikely but could happen :slight_smile: [image]

Our BIM manager has just told me the only phase he made was the standards. The Existing and Proposed were the Autodesk OOTB ones.

Perhaps strip the file out and upload it here for us to look at?

Thanks for that. I’d already written some Python to solve my issue ( Phases - weirdness - #4 by Alien )… But I wanted to know why it’s doing what it’s doing. This is what I wrote btw: [image] I only need the name OR the Id (as long as I got the same output for each phase) so I went with the easy…

I’ve just added the ID thanks to your code (I couldn’t find the bit in the Revit API for Id before) [image] [image] :grinning:

Hello, i had a similar issue but relating to the Element.getparametervaluebyname.
Instead i was shown to parameter.getparametervaluebyname which worked wonders!

Hope that helps
