If you haven't created your own, this is a good example of how data can be incorporated into the family. If you've already edited the file, I would considering adding their shared parameter values to your own families when possible.<BR/><BR/>thanks - dabDavid Buttshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11883940638705490710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8807546545325587932.post-50788970126204356312009-03-11T07:02:00.000-04:002009-03-11T07:02:00.000-04:00Hi Dave.

I was in your AU class last December (2008).<BR/><BR/>It's important to note that Autodesk does NOT endorse our products.<BR/><BR/>We have been working with Autodesk to have our Revit families use *Shared Parameters* that are endorsed by Autodesk, in an effort to start defining industry-wide standard definitions for Revit shared parameters.<BR/><BR/>Autodesk typically only endorses parameters that are desirable for using on schedules, and also parameters that control connection sizes.<BR/><BR/>All other parameters in the shared parameters file we distribute, such as for controlling geometry, are purely our own.DavidVShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10054002981299003492noreply@blogger.com
