Change the rendition profile on several folders with the same name at once with Set-PWFolderRenditionProfile?

Question

Tried to change to rendition profile for several folders with a powershell script but with no success. 
 
 Tried something very similar to what I have for changing several views at once, which looks like this: 
 ## IMPORT PWPS_DAB.DLL
Import-Module -Name "PWPS_DAB" -DisableNameChecking

## Choose folder and its subfolder which it searching in
$TargetFolder = "Project\"

## Specify which folder that you want to change view
$ThisFolder = "Drawings"


## Choose which view you want to change to
$ThisView = "Ritningsvy"

############################################ SCRIPT ############################################################
New-PWLogin -UseGui 
$Folders = get-pwfolders -folderpath $TargetFolder -Slow | where-object -Property "Name" -Like -Value $ThisFolder
$Folders | Set-PWFolderView -View $ThisView
############################################ SCRIPT ############################################################

## Logging out
Undo-PWLogin 
 
 Is it possible to do something similar with Set-PWFolderRenditionProfile? 
 
 Thanks!

this worked for me. I changed up some things to my own preferences 
 # allow -vebose/-debug parameters
[CmdletBinding()]
param()

Import-Module -Name "PWPS_DAB" -DisableNameChecking

## Choose folder and its subfolder which it searching in
$RootFolder = "Users\KvanHaaren"

# ANY sub-folder of $RootFolder with a name listed below will have
# its Rendition Profile changed. No matter how deep under $RootFolder.
$ChangeFolders = @("CADDLib","ics")

## Choose which view you want to change to
$NewRendition = "Project B&W"

New-PWLogin -UseGui 

$Folders = get-pwfolders -folderpath $RootFolder -Slow | where-object -Property "Name" -In -Value $ChangeFolders

# Loop through all found folders
foreach ($ThisFolder in $Folders) {
	write-verbose "Changing rendition profile on $ThisFolder.FullPath"
	try {
 Set-PWFolderRenditionProfile -FolderPath $ThisFolder.FullPath -ProfileName $NewRendition
	} catch {
 Throw "Error occured changing rendition profile on $ThisFolder.FullPath`n`n$($Error[0])"
	}
}

I always start scripts with 
 [CmdletBinding()] 
 param() 
 so I can use -verbose and -debug options from the command line. 
 I changed the $TargetFolder to an array of folder names (and the variable name to $ChangeFolders. You can list multiple folders here and it will find every folder with that name under $RootFolder. 
 Be careful of this, it will match in sub-sub-folders too. so @("folderA","folder2") will match all below: 
 Root\FolderA 
 Root\Folder2 
 Root\FolderC\Folder2 
 Root\FolderD\FolderC\Folder2 
 the where command now uses -In instead of -Like. This allows it to match any folder in the $ChangeFolders array, however you lose your ability to use wildcards in folder names. 
 ForEach will set the variable $ThisFolder to a folder from the $Folders list. No set order is followed, you just know each object will pass through the loop. 
 Using the FullName property for the Set-PWFolderRendtionProfile will get around it not supporting pipeline objects.

I have updated each of the rendition cmdlets to accept inputfolders from the pipeline. 
 Get-PWFolderRenditionProfile, Set-PWFolderRenditionProfile and Remove-PWFolderRenditionProfile. Look for them in the next release of the PWPS_DAB module.

Change the rendition profile on several folders with the same name at once with Set-PWFolderRenditionProfile?
