Problem of renaming type

Revit
1

Hi All
I want to create a script in which we extract the structural column dimensions (bxh) and and rename the family type with the text. I have done thus far, but getting this error. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
in your screenshot you are trying to change the type, not the type name. If you change the parameter name with the correct one, Type Name, you get anyway an error because the parameter is read-only (Upper part of the graph).
You can use Element.SetType from Clockwork package, this should work:

Expand the Element.SetName node so we can see what it is saying.

Check your clockwork package version. Make sure your using clockwork for Dynamo 2.x.
