Continuing the discussion from Elements in Space "TypeError: iteration over non-sequence of type FamilyInstance" :

@Archinecture You could get the room tags by using arch-lab’s “SelectByCategoryAndView” also that will be just 3 nodes :slight_smile: [a85ea4ec79bbb0e6a26e52454b19e983bfe4b333-1]

Hi @Archinecture What is your query here? Didn’t @awilliams graph helped you?

Awilliams already helped me but I don’t want to click solved on someone else’s post.

What are your inputs? This could be the explanation: [image] Elements in Space with Ceilings If you look at the Python code within the Elements in Spaces node, you’ll see this line: inSpace = family.Space[phase] which is querying the space property of the family element. …

Ah, it is expecting a list of rooms and you are only giving it one room. I’m assuming your error says “iteration over non-sequence of type Room”. The Clockwork package has a node called “TurnIntoList”; if you feed your room element into that node, then its output into the Rooms input, it should work…

@Archinecture Now you can mark the solution :wink:
