This is step one in my process of creating an iterative Daylighting analysis workflow using Dynamo and Rendering as a Service. To execute a series of studies, we need to detect the state of the model and change the state of the model. For changing the state, one of the first functions we need to build is a mechanism for changing a family instance p
