Reporting Wall Types Builderswork are Intersecting

Revit
1

Hello,

I am trying to report the wall types (from a linked model) the builderswork (generic models) are intersecting and add this to a text parameter in the revit model. I have tried to produce a dynamo script (attached) but I am receiving an error.

Warning: Element.SetParameterByName operation failed.
The best overloaded method match for ‘Revit.Elements.InternalUtilities.ElementUtils.SetParameterValue(Autodesk.Revit.DB.Parameter, double)’ has some invalid arguments

Please could anyone help!!

Many Thanks!

It looks like your parameter is expecting a number. (double)
Can you make a test with a number or verify the storage type like in this thread ?

Hi,

Thanks for your help. Test with storage type verified below

You should do it like that to know the storage type.

So the parameter storage type of SMB check is a string.

You can obtain the type and convert it in string like this.

I must still be doing something wrong!

Instead of the wall type being assigned to the “SMB Check” parameter the text “Type” is?

Thanks!

You should use Element.GetParameterValueByName or Element.ElementType node instead of Parameter.ParameterByName node.

That doesn’t seem to work either.

Thanks for your efforts

You can replace the codeblock e.Name with the node “string from object”

Or you can convert the bimorph linkelements in elements. (There is a node for that in bimorph package)

And you can add a flatten node after the node BoundingBox.Intersect

String from object worked.

Thanks for all your help.
