Copying shared parameters from one RFA to another

[dtiemeyer]

I have just created 4 expansion tank families. I also have an expansion tank schedule that reads Shared Parameters. If I import all the Shared Parameters into my 1st expansion tank family, is there any way to 'copy' all those shared parameters to the other 3 e.t. families (without having to import the shared params one at a time in each family)?

I would recommend searching for a third party Add-In called Parameter Jerk. (You should be able to find a link to it in this forum). I haven't used it myself, but I've heard that it works quite well for tasks such as that.

Hi dtiemeyer,

You can try a tool available in Autodesk Revit Extensions. You can go to subscription website with you account, and download Autodesk Revit Extensions tool. Once you install this tool, there will be an Extensions tab in Revit.

Click Extensions tab- -Tools- -Project/Shared Parameter, with this tool, you can add shared parameters to multiple families file automatically.

You can check the post below for more detail information on how to use this tool (Note. This link is about 2011 version, the UI has changed, but the function is similar)

Thanks.

Just to close the loop, the 'Parameter Jerk' program, while a little buggy, is exactly what I was looking for!

No, if I had the choice I would prefer to go through the Mines of Moria.
