I have been select all families in the project and I applied a filter to obtain only the families listed in a Excel file.
These new list of families I should rename them with new names in the same Excel file.
I have a dynamo script for to do this actions, but additionally I need select all family types for each ones families selected previously.
I select the family type of family but I can’t rename them
I used “Element.SetNane” of Clockwork and works fine whit families but doesn’t work with family types.
Thanks

hmmm… maybe you need a passthrough node
wait for renaming the family , than change the type.

The node has no way to know that you’re trying to change the type name. In both spots you use the node 'Element.SetName` your input is an Element object. Taking a look at the code itself, when it encounters an Element object, it just updates the Name attribute.
If you want the node to update a different parameter, you need to give it that parameter instead of the element itself. I’m not sure if this will work, since the script is looking for a FamilyParameter specifically, but try putting this after your Flatten node, and before your Element.SetName node.
