Type Parameter (dimensions) of structural Columns

[gerhard.p]

Hello Dynamo friends,

I want to get the dimension parameters of structural columns.

After two hours of trying and searching in the forum i give up.
I tried to get the parameters but also tried to make solids, get points, calculate the size etc…i can`t get it to work. Is there some easy method?

Happy about any advice!

Kind regards

Changing family type parameters and creating new types

You won’t be able to set a type parameter for a family instance. You need to get the Family Type and set the parameter that way. If you’ve already created the Family Types in Dynamo you can just grab them and be on your way. Otherwise you’ll have to create them or filter them from the project.

Door type parameter width

It might be in a daily build. Anyways this is an alternative. [image]

Type parameter into element parameter

You can start by trying to get and set parameters and see what happens: See also Element.SetParameterByNameTypeOrInstance and Element.GetParameterValueByNameTypeOrInstance nodes from Rhythm package, as well as what’s exposed in the Dictionary if needed.
