Using Dynamo in Family Editor

How do I edit a parameter (for example with a slider) value in the family environment. I would like to flex parameters within the family environment while building the family so I dont have to open type dialogue, change number, hit apply, repeat

@kpruss , hi

I would recommend to flex the family in a testproject… small enviroment, with harsh conditions :wink:

I’m able to do that, but is there no way to set a parameter value of the current opened family?

(I don’t know a lot about Dynamo)

Hi @kpruss,

I think you need Python for this!

To get the parameter values check the links below.
Link 1, Link 2
(optimized Python code for a list of elements would be nice).

To set the parameter values you have three options:

  • Search the forum for solutions
  • Write the Python code yourself.
  • Maybe with the help of one of the Python-gurus (@c.poupin @Daniel_Woodcock1 @Einar_Raknes, and much more that I can’t think of right now).

Good luck

Hi @kpruss,

Check the Crumple or the Orchid package :slight_smile:
You can also change parameters without open the familys but open it in the background.
