@Vikram_Subbaiah I just went thru the Omniclass.dyn and it just reads the Omniclass file. I can’t seem to chop it like your example image either to enable futur list manipulations. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/e/3/e33ee6ad709d571c8ed7fa5cebbe12a068d17590.png) [OmniClass\_VS.dyn](https://forum.dynamobim.com/uploads/short-url/gSykfWJzS3rmjz2vXP22tXHHDeo.dyn) (5.5 KB) [OmniClassTaxonomy\_VS.txt](https://forum.dynamobim.com/uploads/short-url/ueLksUe1mgZg4ninb48X6CyzEzY.txt) (307.9 KB) My main objective is to be able to push the Omniclass numbers inserted in the excel file to the family in Revit. This process isn’t explained and I can’t make it work either. [Workflow\_RVT-XLS\_VE\_WIP.xls](https://forum.dynamobim.com/uploads/short-url/rmwkjpdNnztNfp3w1xPDbVVBOOD.xls) (31 KB) I looked inside the element with Snoop and found the parameter here: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/8/f/8f9169442400f6907c8b10be0a34d216278f9e90.png) If it’s a Python Code that is needed, and no other package can do this, can someone make it? --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/updating-type-parameter-thru-excel-still-not-working/10456)._
