Set Revit parameter values with Dynamo

- [Instructor] Now that we've generated our new list of room numbers, let's finish the workflow by overriding the our new room numbers to each room object's number parameter, so that we see this new number throughout the drawing set and room tags and schedules. We'll begin by dropping in the SetParameterByName node, which we'll find in the Revit, Element section of the node library. Notice how we really only use nodes from the Revit library in order to read information at the beginning of the script, and now we're using one at the very end to write changes to the Revit file. For the middle chunk of the script, we've used nodes for manipulating and managing data, but not really for interacting with Revit. That's pretty common. Once Dynamo reads string data off the room objects, the nodes downstream don't know that they're dealing with room and level numbers. Dynamo just thinks about it as data; it doesn't necessarily care where it came from. This is the step where we reapply this data…
