Hi, 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 u…

Per the error add a Type to the Families that are receiving the the parameters. [image] [image] Not sure if this is a bug or Revit API requirement for such a workflow. I’ll add a bug report and we’ll investigate.

Hi Liam, You can do your filtering logic by testing for the parameter Name. [image] There is a Parameter Formula component.

This is very helpful, thank you. The “Open Documents” node is not working for me. I have two families open, but this is what’s happening. [image]

Is the formula in a type or instance parameter?

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.

Maybe this will help. [image] [image]

I recreated your scenario with full success, please post a small example with your issue. Thanks [image]

I tried the solution and got the same error. [image] Family Getting Parameter 1.rfa (1.9 MB) Copying Parameters to Other Open Families.gh (17.3 KB) Family Getting Parameter 2.rfa (1.9 MB) Family With Parameter.rfa (1.9 MB)

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 ty…
