Another issue: I found an up to date Util.cs file. I fixed some bugs and it compiles fine. But here's the thing: the app just do nothing. I just want to edit the family parameters from the code. What should I do?
Here's the lastest version of Utils.cs: https://github.com/jeremytammik/the_building_coder_samples/blob/master/BuildingCoder/BuildingCoder/U...
And here's the code I'm trying:
