Revit 💡 | Managing Shared Parameters files and Batch adding parameters to families using ParaManager

[@shultzmatthew24]

This is an awesome plugin, both the family and project parameter manager are incredibly useful tools that make it easier than ever to make custom schedules for actual elements in the model!! No more using Excel or AutoCAD to make schedules when we can do it through Revit automatically.

Hi, thanks for all the tools. Q - Is there a way to delete parameters from within families using the ParaManager tool?

[@mitchellparsonage9648]

Hi, thanks for the tools as always! How does the Import Excel file work? What does the format of this need to be? I have Excel files set up in a way that Dynamo can import the data and apply parameters, but when I select "Import Excel File", I don't have any options.

Mitchell, you need first to export one parameter through ParaManager to get the Excel template file with the correct structure. Then you can insert the new data to create the new parameters 🙂 You may want to check our tutorials: diroots.com/tutorials/dirootsone/paramanager-revit-add-in-tutorials/

@@joaoooteixeira thanks very much, I figured it out after playing around for awhile, awesome that you can do this 😁

[@chilldidz]

can I change the generic model in place to Wall family category in batch ?

[@joaoooteixeira]

No Churchill, that's not possible.

Are Tag Families excluded from the ParaManager tool? I'm not seeing any of my tags

Hello, a wonderful app but is it possible to manage the shared parameter already inserted in a family, from the project and not from the family, example that I want it to become instance instead of type.

[@DiRootsNews]

Julie, thank you! You can add parameters. To manage existing parameters, you need to open the family.

5:16 Is there any way to set formula as parameter value while batch adding from Shared Parameter file to families in the project? P.S. I am literally a fan of your work, thank you so much for your hard work guys!

Egor, thank you for your kind words about our tools! At this stage, it's not possible. But it's in the pipeline. 😉 You may want to subscribe to our mailing list to be notified about the new versions and updates: eepurl.com/gercRT
