In this video, let's have a look at retrieving a single parameter from an element, checking its value type, and then setting it. I currently have the Revit and Dynamo exercise files open for this video. This is where we left off from in the last video. In the Python script file, we were last looping through the list of parameters and retrieving the built in parameter names. In this exercise, let's get a single parameter from the door by accessing the parameter property of the element and changing the material from door to wood by accessing the door frame material built in parameter.
