Hello…is that a new node in 25…anyway guess the node add a already created sharedparameter from the txt file…where we create the spectype

This isn’t a new node; I just used Orchid Packs, which include this add- shared parameter. but Exclude Group Types". which was available in earlier versions, I think.

4

Orchid package isn’t compatible with many other packages and standard tools - best to seek input via the package author directly at the github.

6

I installed it directly from GitHub and encountered a couple of issues. First, the inputs may not be at the correct levels. Additionally, I want to assign a data type to the shared parameter, as shown in the picture, but I couldn’t find a relevant node.

AddParametersToFamily.dyn (30.7 KB)

I get (read) my Parameters and Parameter Groups from an Excel file.
This is only for a singel Family Document.
I use(d) Orchid Package.

Hi @bvs1982 does these nodes create parameters to txt files as well with the same node ?..i like split it in 2 parts first create for txt file and then add to the parameter think its more flexible, but probably just me :wink: ;)…but guess many ways it can be done…

No idea :upside_down_face:

For context.
I used our Shared Parameter File to make an Excel file with different
Work Sheets. In the Excel file i then have different Work Sheets for different Revit Family Categories as not all Categoires need the same Parameters (in my case).

I think so too :smiling_face_with_halo:.

arhhh, thanks :wink:

Thank you for sharing the data. I’m having an issue with the nodes I marked in red. The second ones, Parametrs.BIpGbzyname are always invalid, and for the left one, Parameter.GrouptypIdByName works when i Give Parameter group. and when I set it on the Group Type, the result is 0. However, I believe we need to use Group Type. I would really appreciate any help!

I believe that might be a language thing if i recall correctly as I hard coded some of those node conversions in english.

Might need to review the Python code and use it as a reference instead of my nodes in those steps.

The problem is that in the new API builtinparametergroups is not used anymore

17

and how to adjust this so it takes a directory with families…

But I am working with 2024

As i said

For multiple Family Documents i am not sure you can do this with the
node from Orchid. I have something for multiple Famliy Documents
from @GavinCrump i believe, but didn’t have the chance to look into that.
Also thats was for Revit 2022 or Revit 2023.

As i said

from @GavinCrump i believe. Never got the chance to try it after it.
Also it is for Revit 2022 or Revit 2023.

I still have the .dyns, but not just gonna share them unless
@GavinCrump is okay with it.

Also won’t be able to answer any question you might have about them.

then that is the issue crumple doesn’t work any more in 2025 because of the BuiltInParameterGroup
