How to Automate Family Type Creation

Hello

 

I want to create many Family Types with the following settings:

  • Shared Parameter
  • Under Data Group Parameter
  • Instance, not type

I know there's a function in Dynamo that allows me to create Shared parameters but I can't find one that can create family types for me with these settings. How would I go about doing this? 

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

what exactly you asking for?  It sounds like you what to create them in project document, so you need to duplicate existing symbol. In family document I can only say that in c# it is in

_familyDocument.FamilyManager.NewType(name)
