As the title says, I am working on a script to change all instances of one family to another, while maintaining their instance parameters of the original family.
I am hitting a bit of a wall here. . . I am not getting any errors, but my output does nothing, showing only a list of the family to replace several times and no changes in model.
Apologies in advance for my nightmare of a filtering group, but I couldn’t get it to work with other filtering methods I tried. Code block to list.contains to a filter by bool was removing things it shouldn’t have. I now it is not elegant, open to any advice, but not the issue I’m having specifically.
If I make it as a one off for a specific family with the specific names of parameters it works fine, the goal is to be able to use it for multiple families (at different times of course) regardless of name or number of instance parameters.
Does anyone know why clockworks “All Elements of Family Type+” node is pulling metal stud details, and not instances of the break line family I am trying to pull?
I went with a list.map, per the suggestions in the above thread, This works. . . sort of. It changes the families to the new type as desired, nut makes all parameters identical, which is not desired. I’m hitting a wall here. . . . any guidance on why the mapping would be doing this?
Note: The node “FilterToOnlyWritaleInstanceParameters” is a custom node of the filter group from the first post, just to remove clutter from my graph for sanity reasons.
I made some progress. I can now replace the instances, but it seems to mix up the order. Using the Geniusloci package I have tried adding nodes to control rotation and location based on the original families, but it seems to be placing them out of order. Anyone have any ideas?
