Add Shared Parameters To Selected/Filtered Families of Same Category

[waqarkhan9494]

Hi,

I have a project which includes several families of same category. For instance, the project contains Antenna 1, Antenna 2, Radio 1, Radio 2, Radio 3… etc

I want to add shared parameters only to Antenna 1 and Antenna 2 families in in the project as instance parameters. I have used a filter in my script based on a parameter “Description”

The problem is that I am able to create share parameters inside the text file but I can not see the parameter in the properties/family editor. I have used the “CreateSharedParameter” from Orchid Package

I have attached the dynamo script. Please help
