Hey there, I’m a newbie to Revit and Dynamo. Is it possible to delete multiple specific shared parameters in multiple families at once? For example: I have many window families in a folder on my computer that all contain the same shared parameters. I now want to remove 2 (as an example) shared para…

Totally possible from directories, and from project as well (but I’ve shown how to do via directory below - more stable approach in my experience. Most of the Python I’ve used is in my Crumple package but I’ve adjusted it to work one family document at a time, so if it hits any errors/crashes you ge…

@alshammary.l , here i had a similar topic [image] How to add shared Parameters to my families in a folder? Revit Hello, I wanna add to my families shared Parameters. The tutorial is very usefull from the AussiBIMGuru. I cant extract data from my shared parameterfile so…

You can’t edit a family without opening it. You could programmatically open all the families, edit them, and save them, but that is pretty intensive compute wise, as you have to open all the files at once and Revit doesn’t like using that many documents at once. Why not start a new project with no …

Thanks for the reply. Are you suggesting that I open each family manually and delete the shared parameters in them as well? If so, then that is exactly what I’m trying to avoid. The reason I don’t want to do this manually is because this will happen often. The company I work at uses product numbers …

Try this: Load a family with a shared parameter into a new project started from a template. In that project delete the shared parameter so that the family in the project no longer has a reference to the parameter. Then save as a library to push that family out of the project. Open the family you sa…

I just tried that and unfortunately the parameter is still in the families. [image] As you can see the family still has all 4 test parameters even after I loaded it into a new project with no template, deleted the 3 test shared parameters and saved the family as a library.

Shoot. Thought that would be a simple work around. Sorry. :disappointed: You’re into the “open each family programmatically” option now. Check out the latest Rhythm package and the Orchid package as one/both of those will be a must if you use nodes.

No problem! Thank you for your replies.

Gavin thank you so much!!! It worked. I’ve been beating my head around this for a couple of days now… Thank you for helping out the community.

I’ve got a Dynamo graph I created that generates a shared parameter report for a directory of families. After attempting to strip out “COMMON ID”, 3 families retain the shared parameter element. Do you know of a way to reset this binding so that it won’t appear in the report. Also, when you open …
