Hi Nicolas,

Try connecting a ‘Watch’ node to t he end of ‘Select Model Elements’, ‘GetTypeParameter’ and ‘Elements.SetParameter’ node to see what the data structure is like. Because if the data is not structured correctly it will cause an error.

You can query them like so:

We’ve discussed this a bit more previously in here:

I’d try Wy Hou’s suggestion and use the Element.Type from the clockwork package.
