Multiple of the same parameter name

Hello,

I am trying to isolate the vertical grid offset parameter of a curtain wall element, however when I find all of the parameters that are called ‘offset’ there are four of them. I know I can just use trial and error to find out which is the correct one in the list that i need- but is there a better way to do this- ie- I can get the API name sent out which is more descriptive?

I am using the get element parameter node to get this series of paramters.

Thanks,Sam

Can you share an image of your definition? Not quite following how you have 4 parameters called Offset out of a single element.

Hi @Rickson,

Is there a best way to package up my file?

I have attached screenshots. This shows how the wall has multiple elements called offset- based on the name there is no way to differentiate between the vertical and horizontal grid offset.

.

you can specify the Parameter to get and its group.

to see what groups they belong to

That is perfect, the first option seems to be a more stable way of doing it and the second answers my original question.

Thankyou so much!

This works even on non English Revit versions.

If it is too big you can remove all unnecessary outputs.

@kike Also fantastic!
