Set Family's Material Parameters to Type Parameters

I was a little confused when you said they are Shared Parameters, but I looked at my screenshot above and that was the case.
They are actually just normal family parameters though. I’m not sure why GH reported them as Shared.

Here we can see those are the shared parameters

try this:

        for param in ct:
            family_manager.MakeType(param)
25

hmm. still not converting the parameters. it’s weird that there’s no error message if it’s not accessible.

I think your parameters are not shared parameters. I hope the following will work.

import clr
clr.AddReference("RevitAPI")
clr.AddReference("RhinoInside.Revit")

from RhinoInside.Revit import Revit
from Autodesk.Revit import DB


doc = Revit.ActiveDBDocument
family_manager = doc.FamilyManager


family_params = list(family_manager.Parameters)

if Create == 1:
    t = DB.Transaction(doc, "Change Scope")
    t.Start()
    try:
        for param in family_params:
            if param.IsInstance:
                family_manager.MakeType(param)
        t.Commit()
        print("All instance family parameters have been converted to type parameters.")
    except Exception as e:
        print("Error converting family parameters:", e)
        t.RollBack()

Success! Thanks so much! This will save me hours.
PS: I looked you up and found you have courses/subscriptions. That’s pretty interesting to me and I will bring it up to my leadership.
Really appreciate the help!
