Dear fellow Dynamo developers
I feel like I am pretty close to getting the Dynamo script that we need. There is only one last node that does not seem to do what I expect it to do. I am not entirely sure if the problem is it being the wrong not, or that I might have gotten something mixed up that resulted in the incomplete output.
Another set of eyes and minds might be all I need here. Maybe there is something obvious that I failed to spot. Would appreciated greatly any opinions and ideas!
Goal:
- to make a Dynamo script that would, collect Room elements in a model and take their parameter “Number”,
- compare it to data in an Excel file, retrieve corresponding parameter data to that code “Number”
- set all data to the corresponding Room element
1.) Below are the 3 test Room elements, with parameter “number” SB101, SB102 and SB103 starting from the largest room, counter clockwise
2.) This is the format of the excel file. There is a list of numbers, and we want to automatically fill up the room code, name and comment to each code, instead of manually inputting them per element. All 3 elements were identified in the ElementFilter.ByParameterStringValue and all their data were also retrieved by the code index from the excel.
3.) This is the Dynamo I ended up with. So far, all the outputs for all nodes except the last SetParameterByName are as expected. There is something not working about the last node, however, as it only seems to get the number code of the first room, apply the parameters from the excel, but does not continue to apply it to the other 2 elements with codes
4.) Only the large SB101 room is updated with the correct data after the script runs. The other two rooms were listed in the script, but the SetParameterByName did not feed data into these elements.
