Hey gang,
I’m looking to batch rename all my wall types by adding a specific text in front of it all. I’m currently testing it out with 1 wall type, before doing them in batch.
Im stuck at the point after concatenating two strings into one, and feeding it back into revit’s system to register it as a new name.
Still new to dynamo, and im sure my last node dont make sense.
Hoping to get some clarification.
Kind regards,
LL
Use the node + OR a Code Block with a+b
instead of String.Concat.
A Code Block with “concrete”+lst also works.
PS
a and b can be any text you like.
Hi @liamyongging you still need element type for set type name [set.name from clockwork], type name is read-only for instance elements
Probs just this. Too early yet for me 
hey mate i tried using just the node +, it returns null for some reason…
Apologies for the inconvenience again with this… what can i do if i dont have set.name as part of my clockwork package * cries *
which revit version are yoi in ?
and if you miss some clockwork nodes then its probably becourse you have some other package there give conflicts…do you have bakery installed for exemple ? do you see it if you browse manuelly ? try go clockwork-revit-elements-element
You forgot this and what @sovitek said.
yeah true;) but dont think it will work anyway…for set type name clockworks node is the way to go 
Thats what i said 
.
I believe Element.SetName may work too.
FYI
String.Concat just combines all the Strings in one List.
You can do it with String.Concat, but you have to jump through a lot more hoops then.
orhhh yea to early for me as well
Thank you legends @sovitek @bvs1982. Ive got the clockwork node going and it works now
