Dynamo "Get Family Parameter" returns a string instead of a parameter

[jordenXTK9V]

Hello, I am trying to read a family parameter from a Dynamo script.

The "Get Family Parameter" block seems to be the right choice to select the family parameter I am interested in reading.

However, when I pass that parameter into other blocks to read its name and value, they throw a warning saying that the type they received was a String. This is unexpected because the Get Family Parameter block is supposed to output a Parameter, not a String.

Can anyone explain the correct way to use Get Family Parameter? Or is there a better way to read the value of a Family Parameter?

In this forum, we discuss the pure .NET Revit API. Your issue sounds Dynamo-specific, so it might be better to raise it in the Dynamo forum:

Thanks, I had browsed Autodesk's communities and didn't see a dynamo community, so thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
