Hi All, In Revit, it isn’t possible to schedule keynote values from linked files (no keynote tags in the host file), so I am attempting to overcome this with Dynamo. I want to map the keynote values from the linked file(s), to shared parameters, either in the link or host file. So far I have gene…

Mark, you can map them to project parameters within the current project. Once the project parameters are in the project you should just be able to use the set parameter node.

Thanks for the suggestion Danny. I wasn’t sure exactly what you meant by this, so I attempted to add shared instance parameters to the keynote tag using dynamo. [Shared Parameter_Curtain Panel] [Shared Parameter_Keynote Tag] It worked for other categories but not for keynote …

Ok, slightly more involved than I originally thought. I’m not sure this is the best way but I converted the TXT file to excel and dropped the last column. Then I loaded that into the bumblebee read excel node. From there you can filter the excel file by the keynotes and set them as project parameter…

Hi Danny, Which .txt file are you referring to?

Mark, I was referring to the keynote text file that you are using within revit.

Thanks Danny, it worked! (for one family type) [Keynote Value Duplicate] I need to apply this process to multiple family types, so I substituted the “Family Types” node with “Categories” and “All Family Types of Category” but it failed to work [Keynote Value Duplicate 2] …

Mark, I’ve made some revisions. Try the graph below. Also, remember that the curtain wall is still a type of wall and the parameters need to be added to the wall category. [Keynote]

I’ve taken a slightly different approach to this problem… The task here is to collect the “keynote value” and “keynote text” from keynote tags in the model file. Then, list all the elements (via a multi-category schedule) to apply the shared keynote parameter to. The idea being that when the “key…

Mark, Did you make any progress on this? This is a creative idea/workaround to getting a key value into a tag. Ceers, Craig

Hi Craig, No further progress since my last post. I took a break from it over the holiday period because it was starting to fry my brain :slight_smile: All I really need to achieve here is to schedule in a host file (which contains links only - no tags), the keynote tag values from a linked model…
