Add shared parameter node

**Mustafa_Mahmoud** · June 5, 2016, 5:54am

No problem we can translate it

**truevis** · June 5, 2016, 6:04am

We are interested in its format, not its content. You can put “a” “b” “c” or whatever.

@truevis @Mustafa_Mahmoud @Neil_Reilly This script is quite old. I just tested now its gives me some error may be due to the Revit API changes. Give me sometime i am working on this for you guys. Hoping to fix this bad boy and post the result.

@Kulkul we are waiting for you boss ,you are the man , you can do it

I am hoping for an answer as I could not get the node itself to completely work: Add Shared Parameter to Project?

Game Over! At first shared parameter need to be created then the script is good to go. I tested this script in Revit 2016 and its working. I have attached files and created a small clip of the process hope you all like it.

There was a discussion on this some time ago here: http://dynamobim.org/forums/topic/shared-parameter-creation-from-list/

Basically you can’t use the drop down selectors with this node. Your inputs need to match what Konrad posted in the above thread for it to work correctly. I posted a screenshot in the same thread showing another way of doing this with an excel list of parameters but the formatting is the same otherwise.

That is it , it is work man , thank you for your great work

**Kulkul** · June 7, 2016, 6:27am

رمضان كريم Glad it helped! Can you mark this post as solved.

**Mustafa_Mahmoud** · June 7, 2016, 6:30am

Sure Boss thank you

**Mustafa_Mahmoud** · June 8, 2016, 11:07am

I succeeded to make it without excel sheet

**Neil_Reilly** · June 8, 2016, 7:36pm

I’ve been away for a while. Thank you Kulkul, this is an excellent tool. Also thank Mustafa for keeping this going:-)

It didn’t run straight away after I downloaded, So I made it a bit more understandable for complete dynamo noobs. It can’t hurt to have a few examples here!

The attached excel has a header explaining each rows purpose. The dynamo script has a codeblock that indicates what each excel index id for. I did nothing to the python code apart from changing the input references.

Again, thank you Kulkul for figuring and helping out.

No Problem:+1: Have fun

**Thomas_Vogt1** · August 30, 2016, 9:38am

How can I include the GUID of the parameters (e.g. a extra row in the excel file with the GUID)?

**kiknchikn2060** · November 7, 2016, 3:09pm

First, I want to say great work from all of you. While testing the scripts provided, I discovered these are to be used while in a project. These will not work while in the family editor. Do you guys know of a post regarding families with shared parameters? I have searched far and wide for this with no luck.

**Kulkul** · November 7, 2016, 3:49pm

@kiknchikn2060 Could you please start a new thread. Thanks

**kiknchikn2060** · November 7, 2016, 4:08pm

I have. No response.
