Element.SetParameterByName Beams . z Justification

[Alexwanderwenzel]

Issue Description

Please fill in the following information to help us reproduce the issue:

Dynamo version

Dynamo: 2.13.1.3887

Operating system

OS: Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19045.0

What did you do?

I was trying to change the z Justification in a Beam using the "Element.SetParameterByName" method (I tried both Dynamo modules and Python) and I get this error Element.SetParameterByName Operation Failed. specTypeId is not a measurableSpec (ForgetypeId). Parameter name: specTypeId

What did you expect to see?

A change in the z Justification. In previous versions of Revit that method and the z Justification parameter works fine.

What did you see instead?

(Fill in here)

What packages or external references (if any) were used?
