Access Sheet properties and modify

[strsuraj]

Hi,

I want to access the properties of selected sheet and modify them. I am able to do for properties which are listed under Identity Data

using

foreach (Element e in new FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(typeof(FamilyInstance)).OwnedByView(viewsheet.Id))
{
   Parameter param1 = e.LookupParameter(ParameterName);
   if (param1 != null) { param1.Set(finalValue);  }

but unable to do it for those under "Other"

This is just an example, I have few properties which are Associate Global Parameter and are placed inside Other in Properties window.

Thanks

Hi @strsuraj ,

Filter the view sheet and try to access the parameters.

FilteredElementCollector collector = new FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(typeof(ViewSheet)).WhereElementIsNotElementType();
                foreach(Element e in collector)
                {
                    foreach (Parameter p in e.Parameters)
                    {
                       if(p.Definition.Name=="Guide Grid")
                       {
                            p.Set("Guide Grid Name");
                       }
                    }
                }

You can use the above code to set the value for the parameters.

From my understanding, It is not possible to change the file path parameter via API.

If you want to set the value for the guide grid then you should first create guide grid elements in the active sheet and by using guide grid element name you can assign value for the guide grid parameter.

I hope this helps.
