@erfajo thanks for you help, but unfortunately i still have the same problem.
have you tried in your computer?
it is weird, but something is wrong and i dont know what

Hi Erik. Thank you for creating this routine and your Orchid nodes package. I was just wondering if the FamilyDocument.AddSharedParameter node could incorporate an Input using the same line of thought for the Tool Tips. We know that once a shared parameter is created, there is no way editing them to incorporate the Tool Tips. I know that in Revit 2018 when they are brought into a new project one can do it but not in the previous versions. Is that possible? Please! I thank you beforehand for your help and attention.

What are the steps need to be taken if i want to use this script and Ochrid nodes to ad shared parameter to an open family? So I don’t want to point the input to a folder. And where do I feed my Shared Parameter txt file in?

I’m struggling with the addParameter Node.

I’ve got for ex. 8 Revit families. Families 1 needs 6 parameters, fam 2 needs 9 parameters etc. etc

I’ve created dictionaries, and see 8 sub lists. When I connect these list to the addparameter node, it runs like it should. The thing I’m struggling with at this moment is the lacing. At this moment I get all parameters with it’s according type in all the families. That’s too much. When I adjust the lacing I get the expected parameters in all the families only with the first “Type” from my “Type List” in this case a Text Type. Can anyone point me in the right direction.
Thnx , Jordi

Hi everyone,

I create a script with the indication of @erfajo but I dosen’t run. I attached the screenshot of my script. I create a shared parameter and I want to add it but I don’t undestand why I can’t.


Thanks!

Chose Parameter Type from “Parameter Types” node. I don’t know which one is for “Dimensioni” but you should find it

Now, if I use “Number” it run.
Do know how I can modify parameter’s value when I insert in?

Thanks

After you add it in you can use “SetParameter by Name and Value” You should select elements and then modify parameters’ value.

But I have a “orchid document” and for this package I need “element/string”. If I convert from orchid document to string can I modify the parameters?

You can’t add a parameter and at the same time assign its value. After the parameter has been added, select the elements (not families) which suppose to have that new parameters.
