Autodesk Revit MEP Wishes

It's currently possible to make calculated parameters in Schedules. But it's not possible to read out these values in a tag.
What we want is to be able to make additional parameters in the project parameter window and have the possibility to add equations to these parameters. Just as you can add formulas within the parameter window of the family builder.

You might have to apply the parameter as a Shared parameter in the family editor. The schedules and tags draw info from the individual object, so the calculations you want to show will have to be done within the family. Let me know if you find different.

It's the system familys I need this option for.
For my normal familys I already intergraded the shared parameters. Can't live without them.

I've already tried to find a workaround myself but wasn't able to find one.

System Family... What are you trying to show in the Tag?

[#6]

I’m trying to show some of my values I calculated within my schedules in tags inside my views. One of the examples I try to show within a tag is the bottom inside height of a pipe value.

The only workaround I can think of is to import the schedule with the calculated values inside into a view. And tweak it a bit with lines to let it look like a tag or some sort of tag. But I don’t have to tell you what the complications will be if you need like 20 of those tags...

So what I would call an Invert Level?
We have a tag that does this, I'll pull it apart when I get a chance and see how it works. I am quite sure there are no schedules involved though.

Though I'm tired of all the work around I need to get the company standard into Revit. I would still really like to know how that tag you talk about works!
