I am trying to copy parameters from one open family to 10 others. I want to use RiR for this because I am updating a whole series of families and adding the same parameters to all of them, so it would be a lot easier to just have a script that does it. This is also a common problem that comes up.
My initial thought was to query the parameters in the families I’m copying too, and cross reference with the family that I am copying from; then filter out all of the parameters that are already the same; then create new parameters based on the remaining parameters. However, the query parameters component doesn’t have a filter input. Is there a way to do what I’m looking for?
Also, is it possible to copy any formulas that the parameters have?
I saw something earlier that I can’t seem to find or replicate (I think it was a runtime warning) that said that the parameter formula component is pulling from the active document, rather than from the document that the parameter is from. I then made sure to run the script while I was in the family I am copying FROM, and it still didn’t work.
It’s a type parameter. I also realized that I was not defining the scope when creating the new parameter. I did define it as a type parameter and I am getting the same error.
That worked! Thank you for helping and for the bug report.
On a related note, is it possible to set all of the parameters of a family while editing that family? For example, I am editing a family with 30 types and I add a visibility parameter. I want to change the visibility parameter for all 30 types at once, without having to go to each type separately and manually change the value. When I try and query parameters with RiR, it does show all the parameters in the family, but I can’t change the value of the parameters because the Element Parameter node requires an element input. Is there a different node I can use, or a way to give the node an element?
So, is there any way to set the value of a parameter in an open family? Below, I have a door family open and would like to set the value of all of the ratings parameters to be 1. Is that possible?
