Setting Family Type of Element

Hi everyone,
I am trying to build some script for curtain panel randomization as mentioned here, but I cannot find familyinstance.settype command. I am using the latest version of Dynamo.

@leumas661
Have you tried ‘set parameter by name’? Feed the word “Type” into the name entry.

This post demonstrates how to set the family type with OOTB nodes.

As a matter of fact, I use that exact option all the time for changing the tag family for tagging workflows.


Additionally, you are able to do this with a few custom nodes,


I believe in the post you mentioned I was utilizing the clockwork package.

I hope that helps,
John
