Schedule to all upper

Anonymous
Not applicable

I have been trying to use Dynamo to create a schedule to all upper case. I have followed some other posts in order to get the right components together, but im not sure what I'm missing. The parameter exists in the specialty equipment models but it appears that it cannot pull the data, so the output fails. Am I missing something?

Dynamo is most of the times replicating what you would do in the GUI. So what you are doing is getting all the special equipment instances in the project and you ask about the parameters. So what kind of parameters are showing up?...instance parameters. You can see this with an additional node (element.parameters).

The parameters you want are the type parameters. So the trick is to get the family types of the selected instances (familyinstance.gettype). After that you can get the parameter value of the type parameters (make sure that the parameters have values filled in).

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.

I appreciate the help, and I am making some progress and have played around with quite a few different tools, but haven't quite achieved the end result. I know I am probably still just missing something important. I have included a screenshot of the dynamo script and the sample schedule. It does not appear the script is pulling the correct parameters, and when it is run in Revit nothing on the schedule changes.

Ok I did manage to make it work if I only do one parameter at a time. Not sure why I can't use the list to pull all the data and change each parameter at the same time. Am I using the list commands wrong?
