Dynamo Script To Change Parameter Text

[tim8GAK9]

Hey gang, need a little help here with this Dynamo script. I'm trying to execute a "find/replace" for text within a parameter of a family. Can this be done with family parameters, or only project parameters? See script -

The error I'm getting at the "set parameter by name" part is "No parameter found by that name". I can verify that our families have the "Manufacturer" parameter in them, so it does exist. Can someone help me out here?

Hi @tim8GAK9 

I think what you're after is Revit Lookup, which will give you the correct internal Parameter name that Dynamo needs.

the Manufacturer parameter is a Type parameter and not an Instance parameter.

So you need to get the parameter from the ElementType.

Thanks Fair59, this worked brilliantly.

How can I add more than one string at the beginning of the script? They would both have the same parameter that I want to use find and replace on.
