Hi
I am trying to get the names of the view templates’ parameters using python. Using the “.GetTemplateParameterIds()” method I can get the parameter ids, but then I cannot find a way to get the names as strings. I have tried the following:
1.Using the Revit python wrapper: e.g.: db.Element.from_id(j).Name
2.Using the API method: e.g.: DB.GetElement(doc, j)
(j is the parameter(Element) id)
In both cases the result is “None”.
Even when using the “>Manage>Inquiry>Select by ID” function in Revit and I use one of the parameter ids, the result is that “The following Element IDs are invalid and won’t be used”
In this post setting-view-template-includes @Konrad_K_Sobon has somehow done the mapping of the ids to their names.
Can anyone help here?
Thanks a lot in advance
I did it manually. Like you can see in the images, it was done manually. There are however some nodes that I made to do this:
Just download the latest archi-lab.net package.
Cheers!

Hey Konrad, I think the latest version of archi-lab.net doesn’t have the GettemplateparameterIds or other view templates nodes that are very useful.Is there any way, I can learn how did u script the “GettemplateparameterIds” with all other node u add in?
Thanks in advance
Which version would that be? What Dynamo version are you in? What Revit version?
Hey Konrad,
I installed older version that has those nodes and it Works 
Dynamo version - 2.0.3.8810
Revit Version - 2019
archi-lab.net - 2020.23.5
Hi @Konrad_K_Sobon I manually wrote in the parameter values like you explained. I’m only getting output arrows for two of the 29 lines. I do not understand why.
hello @nicolas.becken …you dont have to write it manuelly…archilab had a node for that as well…
