Place a family on the centroid of the surface

Good morning everyone!

I would like to place a family (already loaded into the project), on the centroid of the surface. This is where I got to, but


it gives me this error. How do I continue?

FamilyType.ByName needs a type name input.

Yeah, but I think that the problem is in the “FamilyInstance.ByPoint” node. The argument seems to be wrong.

i feel you. if you take a closer look at the error message. the node is complaining about the input agruments. it’s shouting “i need a family type and a point. look what i get? a function and a point!” you give familyType.Name a type name input, it will output a family type instead of a function.

Ahahahha! I’ve actually tried it again now and it works. Thank you very much!
