Hallo everyone,  
I am trying to get in a roomtag in revit the values of the finish floor level FFL… I mean, we can get in the room tag some info like: Name, Area, volume, Room Height… etc, but how can I build in Dynamo a parameter, which gives us for example: the value of finish floor level in every room tag… I have started in Dynamo with these codes but i could not do further… I hope of your help!! Thans alot  
Haseeb

I don’t know a lot about rooms but floor finish and level are parameters that are associated with a room as is right? I don’t see why you would need dynamo for this. Perhaps you could elobrate a bit further, maybe some screens from Revit showing what parameters you want to transfer.

I am sorry, that everything is written in German. My question is: In this room tag I wanna get the values of the levels automaticelly. I used to write them as a Text.  
For instance: OKFFB refers to the finish floor level, and in my example it is the first Floor level. In family parameter in revit i can get just the name of the level, but what i want is the Value !!!

In Revit, make a new shared parameter for ‘finish floor elevation’ and add it to your project (associated to rooms) and room tag and load the tag into the job.

In Dynamo get the parameter value for ‘finish floor level’ as you did before and then get that level’s elevation using another element.getparametervaluebyname node. Then use an element.setparameterbyname to set the rooms 'finish floor elevation.

Are you sure you set it to be an instance parameter?

I already find it.

The shared parameter was a text instead of a number. So now it is working 🙂

I would be very interested in how you’re getting the other values. In particular the UK RD and OKRB…

Many thanks!"

Hey! I found the solution to get the rest of the values.  
You can use the node LevelAbove from Archilab to retrieve the elevation above for UKAD and UKRD.  
For the level below such as OKRB you need to customize your own node, in which you can take from the node LevelAbove from Archilab and edit the parameter to - 1 instead of + 1 and create as your own node 🙂
