Hi,
I made this node which places a Families on specific XY(Z) coordinates (measured IRL).
These coordinates are taken from an Excel.
So every Family got an XY(Z) coordinate, but also a number (text value).
Placing the Families works great, but i also need to fill in a unique number for each Family (from same Excel).
I have no idea how to approach this last step. Hopefully someone cna help me with this.
COORD_EXCEL.xlsx (8.5 KB)
COORD_TEST_V3.dyn (47.2 KB)
PS I am still fairly new to Dynamo but i already made a few working graphs (by trail and error)
as i am learning on the job.
You were trying to set values to the Types not the instances
When i do it like this it does not work.

can you show the excel file?
looks ok to me,
you can place a count node to check the amount of values you put in.
or show the previews

I picked the wrong node…
It had to be Element.SetParameterByName instead of Element.SetParameterValuesByNames
Thanks for your help @m.rijsmus

what package is this node from??
Try not to revive 6 year old posts unless it’s absolutely necessary. In almost every case it’s probably better to just start a new thread. In this case, I think that’s the custom node the OP alluded to in the original post.
