Short version:
I have a FamilyParameter.IsInstance is set to True on it.
I have a FamilyInstance.
How do I get the Parameter from the FamilyInstance that corresponds to the FamilyParameter?
Long version:
I'm trying to get the load on an electrical device. I have the FamilyInstance in the project.
The load is set in the connector. To get the load from the connector, I have to go the family document. See this other forum post for background.
On the connector, I get the load parameter.
But! The has set the built-in load parameter to depend on a family parameter that he has created. It is an instance parameter so that in the project he can set the load for each device. I need to find this load.
I Use GetAssociatedFamilyParameter to get the FamilyParameter that is being used.
I check FamilyParameter.IsInstance and see that it is an instance parameter.
Now I need to go back to the instance and find the parameter to get the value.
I can't get the parameter using the definition (returns null) or GUID (not a shared parameter so doesn't exist).
In the Definition the names match but not the Id. I could iterate over all the parameters and find it that way, but if there are two parameters with the same name, I'm not sure how to make sure I found the right one. And that doesn't "feel" like the right way to get the parameter, but it could be my intuition is off on this.
