Select Elements in REVIT by the IDs

Revit
1

Hi,

I’m a beginner with Dynamo and I have a selection problem.
I readed a script which select all ID element of elbow 45°. After that I would like to Select all these elbows in my REVIT Workspace to display and change a loss pressure parameter.
I tried to change directly this parameter in dynamo but loss pressure parameter can’t be change easily.
I also tried to use CAAD_RWTH nodes and it doesn’t work.
I’m on REVIT 2016 and Dynamo 1.1.0.0

Here my script

and here the result that I would like. (On this screenshot i selected manually all the elbow)

the select in Revit is from springs

Believe this code can work with what you want
