Adding Project Parameters

I want to use the Revit API to add project parameters by referencing information in the shared parameter file.
Which API would help? I would be glad to know.

こんにちは@Yoshiyuki_Miyauchi さん

Kindly follow below steps to add project parameter using Revit API.

1. Open SharedParameterFile

2. Get Group from SharedParameter File

3. Get Parameter

4. Filter Categories

5. Create Type/ Instance Binding

6. Bind parameter to project

Reference Code

//Revit Document Access Application app = commandData.Application.Application; UIApplication uiApp = commandData.Application; UIDocument uiDoc = uiApp.ActiveUIDocument; Document doc = uiDoc.Document; //SharedParameter File Path string path = @"C:\Users\XXXXX\Desktop\TextShared.txt"; //Open SharedParameter File DefinitionFile defFile = app.OpenSharedParameterFile(); ExternalDefinition parameter = null; //Get Group foreach (DefinitionGroup group in defFile.Groups) { if (group.Name == "Demo") { Definitions extDefinitions = group.Definitions; //Get Parameter foreach (ExternalDefinition definition in extDefinitions) { if (definition.Name == "Demo Parameter") { parameter = definition; } } } } //Filter Categories Categories cat = doc.Settings.Categories; CategorySet set = new CategorySet(); foreach (Category category in cat) { if (category.Name == "Walls") { set.Insert(category); } } using (Transaction insert = new Transaction(doc, "add parameter")) { insert.Start(); //Create Type Binding Binding type = app.Create.NewTypeBinding(set); //Bind Type Parameter BindingMap map = uiDoc.Document.ParameterBindings; map.Insert(parameter, type, BuiltInParameterGroup.PG_DATA); insert.Commit(); }
