Update in-project-families

Hi gus,

I saw a post how to update a family with a shared parameter which is something I want to do too.

However I don’t have a directory filled with families but several ‘projectlibraries’. (projects filled with families).

How to tweak that workflow so it opens a loaded-family?
@erfajo any thoughts?

There’s a method for getting the family document from the project definition of a family:

You should be able to open the family from there. I haven’t done any family editing with Dynamo yet so I’m not very familiar with the process, but that might be enough to get you started.

That would be awesome.

Right now my workflow is:

  • bulk export all families to a directory.
  • bulk add parameter via your dyn
  • bulk add parameter value via your dyn
  • bulk import is next.
