Shared Parameter error

[jcurtis]

I'm trying to load a B & G pump in to the project and receive this error when I do.   

"The shared parameter 'ee35ad84-b029-481a-b600-c9e17da63d7d' cannot be added with name 'Material' and type 'Material' because it conflicts with the existing name 'Material' and type 'Text'."

Hello! Welcome to the Discussion Group!

By chance, do you have a Project Parameter in your Project called "Material"?

The only way that I was able to put the element inside the Model

1 - Create a new blank project,

2 - Add the family in this new project,

3 - Link  the new project to the working project

4 - Bind the Link
