Reading Family name and Family Type name from Schedule

[Mohammad.Uddin2]

I am trying to select the Same name of the Families from the schedule using BiMorph Nodes. But Now, when I try to select Family and Family Type using the names from schedule columns, it says the

A Family with the Specified name [NAME] does not exist in the document.

Unfortunately, as a new user on the forum, I am not getting the right to upload the documents currently!

Any Idea, what might be the issue here.

Hi Thanks, for setting that up.
This is what I get.

It was the same issue earlier. Some of the Family names are not accepted even though they exist. Its mainly happening with the System Families and Analytical Surfaces.

Seems you have a multicategory schedule!

Then we need to filter accordingly.

[Mohammad.Uddin2]

IS there any sample reference that I can look or refer to for the Filter Process?

[_Vijay]

there are multiple topics in this forum for the filter process. Did all the families have the same parameter that looking to change?

[Mohammad.Uddin2]

Yes, they all have the same parameter that needs to be updated.

[_Vijay]

if the parameter is instance better to filter with family type. if the type go with family and there types.

using a diffrent setup (Crumple package and Rhythm) but it gets family and type just fine OBS it get the entire row that means headers, blankspaces etc so you will need to filter it a bit
