Warning in SetParameterByName

Revit
,
1

Might be a basic mistake, but I can’t figure it out. :sweat_smile: I’ve created a small script that filters through lighting fixtures and their host. If they are hosted on a ceiling, a string is copies to “comments”, if it’s hosted on a floor (no suspended ceiling), a different string is copied.

The script works just fine, but when executing, “Element.SetParameterByName” shows a “warning” with “Elements.SetParameterByName expects argument type(s) (Revit.Elements.Element, string, var), but was called with (string, string, string).”

Is there any way to “clean” this warning?

Thanks in advance.

PS: The “List.UniqueItems” was included later to test things out, but works fine without it.

You can try like this,

Host.dyn (21.4 KB)

This is indicating that the first input is somehow a string instead of an element. Can you use an Object.Type node after the List.FilterByBoolMask followed by a List.UniqueItems to confirm everything is a type of Revit Element. This will have to happen for both the ‘in’ and ‘out’ outputs from the List.FilterbyBoolMask node.

One possible reason things might be going a bit sideways is elements might not have a parameter for “Plano de trabajo”.

I don’t know why passing both values in one single Codeblock rather than one for each fixes the warning, but it did :sweat_smile:

Thanks to both!
