Update family location with the room details

[kc.ho]

Hi all, I’m trying to update families location with the room name. Using this but with error. Anyone can help?

Error at location.name

Warning: Location.Name expects argument type(s) (DynamoUnits.Location), but was called with (Revit.Elements.Room).

You should feed it a Location instead of a Room

[kc.ho]

can give me an example? I’m new to Dynamo. Thanks

@kc.ho Can you upload a sample Revit file as well?

[kc.ho]

Archi.rvt (1.6 MB)
mep.rvt (2.6 MB)

Here you go. I linked Archi.rvt into mep.rvt for this testing. @salvatoredragotta

@kc.ho Did you find an answer to this? I have run up against the same issue.

Can you post what you have so far?

I know there hasn’t been shown much effort here, but since the test files were provided I thought I’d show a possible way to do it:

Have in mind, that if you intend to do something like this in a complex model, then the routine might need some tweaking, but this is a start.

Thanks @MartinSpence this did the trick. I blended yours with the original post to accomplish what I needed on my test Revit file.

Will need to find a way to simplify for larger projects. Any suggestions are welcome.
