Dynamo - get revit parameter

spm8C88E — Wed, 05 Jun 2024 08:02:50 GMT

I'm still learning Dynamo, but I think it should be possible to do what I'm trying to do. I'd like to take the information in a built in revit paramter, like Workset in this case, and populate a second parameter with this information. For some reason it looks like I can get other built in parameters, like "Name" or "Comments", but when I try to access "Workset" Dynamo returns zeros instead of the Workset name. Is there another way to access this parameter?

Hi,

You can use "Element Workset" node from "GeniusLoci" package, it will help you to get the name and the workset it self.

Thanks for the suggestion! Is there a trick to this node? for me it still only returns null values

It appears to be working in my Revit and Dynamo.
It may be a version issue.
You might want to check with repository, etc. or ask on the Dynamo forum.

Here is the version I am using
・Revit2023.1
・DYNAMO v.2.16.2
・Genius Loci 2023.7.13

@s.iwasakiSYTFM thanks for your reply.

I'm running

Revit 2024.2

Dynamo Revit 2.19.4

Genius Loci 2024.5.29

IronPython2.7 3.2.0

I was getting some warnings for these packages so I uninstalled and reinstalled them but it doesn't appear to have helped. Posted on the Dynamo forum. thanks!

Are you sure your model contains worksets? (worksharing enabled)
