Hi guys,
Im trying to make a script where I could change rebar cover size of structural elements in different levels of building. So, at this moment I came to a standstill in setting parameters of rebar cover size. First I tried to set rebar cover by <em>Code Blocks</em>, but that didn't work. I thought maybe <em>Dynamo</em> don't understand those kind of parameters which I wrote in<em> Code Blocks</em>, so I get these parameters from <em>Parameters list, </em>but in this way it isn
t working either. Any ideas?
Thanks a lot
I have no ideas why the text is like that so I write it again.

Had a minute to look… these are the actual built in parameters you’re looking to get/set
CLEAR_COVER_EXTERIOR (walls only)
CLEAR_COVER_INTERIOR (walls only)
CLEAR_COVER_OTHER (all hosts except in-place families and stairs)
CLEAR_COVER (in-place families and stairs)
CLEAR_COVER_TOP (all hosts except walls, in-place families, and stairs)
CLEAR_COVER_BOTTOM (all hosts except walls, in-place families, and stairs)
For the cover parameter value you are trying to set for the element you need to use the RebarCoverType element and not the string.

I think this is a silly question, but how to get a rebar type (marked in red) list from the list of rebar name?
You can create a dictionary of the RebarCoverType’s and then extract the Type by the name using 2 nodes from the LunchBox package.
