Hello, Is there a way to set all Values (Object.Type) to Values can vary by group instance is this even exposed to Revit API ? We use it in the context of PropertyWizard but it is cruzial for Dynamo scripts. So either we forbide creating groups in our project team (it would lead to burning cars)…

If it’s greyed out in the project parameter settingd, it’s greyed out to the revit api. Many parameters cannot vary at a group level, text is the main one that can i believe. This blocks off dynamo to most grouped objects beyond a text based level in my xp. I’d like to think there’s a way to dive d…

@GavinNicholls , I’ve seen Text,longtext, Area, Volume, speed, time … they are also exposed to change. Mostly we change length Parameters… is there way to store doubles in strings ? AsValueString Method Online Documentation for Autodesk's Revit API: 2015, 2016, 2017, 2017.1, 2018 …

Unfortunately the one thing they all have in common is they cannot change elements geometrically, or be tied to field types that can. You can store numbers as text, but wont be able to hook them up to length fields in the families. Theyre in a group so in principle cannot deviate from the group defi…

Simply put, you cannot edit groups via the api, which means you cannot edit them via Dynamo or any other Revit add-in. This building coder blog post outlines one workflow, but as noted there this more or less removes the usefulness of groups: The Building Coder: Editing Elements inside Groups

Group editor api has been a wishlist item for like forever! I remember submitting a wishlist item like 6 years ago which got merged into another one older than that. I wonder what the upvotes are on that… Probably all the devs by now. :joy:

It’s a VERY big lift. If you think of the complexity of sketch editor, Group editor easily adds 10x that AND increased stability and testing concerns.

@Daniel_Woodcock1 , Actually the wish is to group instances and all instance Parameters in the group are changeable… the identification of the group should just be by determind by instance type and instance location…

May not matter, but you can try this: SetAllowVaryBetweenGroups Method

Ha, I know I know! Doesn’t stop us devs from moaning at the mere mention of no api support though! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: [image] jacob.small: May not matter, but you can try this: SetAllowVaryBetweenGroups Method This will only work on certain parameter types, I think bound by the s…
